Free to start, no credit card. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit.
Direct answer
Can AI make a video lecture in Dutch from my documents?
Yes. Upload a PDF, deck or notes, set the output language to Dutch, and Scholarly writes a script from your files, narrates it in Dutch and renders chaptered scenes with Dutch text on screen. The source can be in English or any other language.
- Free plan: One lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload (up to 8 MB; the first 32 pages of a PDF are read), enough for one Dutch video of about 2 minutes at up to 720p. It carries Scholarly branding and is watched and shared by link; MP4 download is paid. No credit card.
- Paid plans: Premium ($30/mo in US dollars, lower local prices in some countries) includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, up to 10 sources per video, 1080p, target lengths up to 45 minutes and watermark-free MP4 downloads. A video over 15 minutes costs 1 extra credit, over 30 minutes 2. Laureate ($99/mo) includes 80 credits a week and 20 sources.
- What goes in: PDFs, slide decks, Word files, notes, images, YouTube links and recordings. Up to 10 files per video on Premium, 20 on Laureate, 1 on Free.
- What comes out: A chaptered video with diagrams, charts and illustrations, narration, captions and a transcript, shareable by link. Paid plans download a watermark-free MP4.
- How Dutch is handled: Narration, scene text and captions all follow Dutch. Built-in English scene labels are left out of non-English lectures instead of appearing untranslated. Narration is spoken by a multilingual voice that is told to speak Dutch, or Dutch (Belgium) when you pick it, instead of guessing the language from the text.

Language details
How Scholarly handles Dutch
What changes when the output language is Dutch, taken from how the speech and rendering pipeline actually works.
Voice
Narration is spoken by a multilingual voice that is told to speak Dutch, or Dutch (Belgium) when you pick it, instead of guessing the language from the text.
Script and layout
Latin script, left to right. Titles, captions and the transcript are written in Dutch along with the narration.
Variants in the picker
The picker lists Dutch and Dutch (Belgium). Choose Dutch (Belgium) for Flemish vocabulary in the script.
Check before you share

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can my source be in English and the output in Dutch?
Yes. The source and the output do not have to share a language. Upload an English PDF, deck or recording, set the output language to Dutch in the creation panel, and the script, text and narration are written in Dutch. Leave the setting on Auto and Scholarly follows the language of the source instead.
Does it support Flemish?
For the script, yes: Dutch (Belgium) is its own entry in the picker, and the narrator is told Dutch (Belgium) by name. Listen to the first minute if a Flemish accent matters.
Is the Dutch AI video generator free?
You can try it free: the Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit, enough for one roughly 2-minute video at up to 720p in Dutch, shared by link. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, longer target lengths, 1080p and MP4 downloads.
Does the video show Dutch on screen or only speak it?
Both. Titles, key points and diagram labels are written in Dutch along with the narration, and the captions and transcript follow the same language. English product names or technical terms from your source can stay in English where that is how your audience says them.
Is Scholarly's interface available in Dutch?
Yes. Scholarly's interface is available in Dutch: choose Nederlands as your app language in Settings › Appearance › App language, and new accounts open in it when your browser asks for it. What you create has its own output language: pick Dutch once as your default in Settings, or per creation in the language row of the creation panel.
