Trying to hear how some words are pronounced using Google Translate’s Haitian Creole voice option?
Unfortunately, it’s been a while since Google Translate stopped playing Haitian Creole translations. You can no longer hit the voice icon in order to listen to the Haitian Creole words.
Personally, I never used it. But I have listened to a few robotic voices reading in Haitian Creole. The female voice sounded like a French person trying to read in Haitian Creole. A bit funny, but very far from how the typical Haitian Creole speaker would actually pronounce the words.
Below, you will find a video that I created where I address the unavailability of the Haitian Creole voice option from Google Translate. I am also offering an a-la-carte option, with human voice.
Additionally, I address some issues linked to the accuracy of the translations offered by Google Translate when it comes to translating from English to Haitian Creole.
Finally, if you want a superior option to the robotic voice that Google Translate used to offer, you can contact me by filling out the form below.
