Hi, would it be possible to add a flemish voice for navigating for us Dutch speakers in Belgium? The Dutch offered in the app has a very annoying accent only spoken in The Netherlands.
Have you tried changing the selected voice, and none of the available ones are accurate?

Sure, but they're all with all the kind of Dutch spoken in the Netherlands.

Hi ABPR,
Flemisch is not a language, only a regional Dutch dialect. I might advice though to get the pronounciation from the actual regional Dutch used (= Hollands) to ABN (short for Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands = Generalised Civilised Dutch) ? That might already help a lot without aiding the nationalist far right movement (we all know that road is not helping at all) and without suppliers like you to have to invest in to many language translations.
On the other hand : is it possible to have the voice shift automatically to the local language ? e.g. French streetnames pronouces in this actual used ‘Hollands’ are far to hilarious and disturbing to be safe.
