  • Re: Is there a text trannscription of the MP3 course?

    Oh my word, Dale D, you are made out of awesomeness. This course seems very accessible. I was so happy i nearly started singing. Sorry I don't yet have enough Irish to express my level of appreciation for the link but go raibhe maithe agat, a chara. Sorry, I know that was basic.

  • Is there a text trannscription of the MP3 course?

    Haigh. I just got the MP3 course offered on this site, but I'm visualy impaired, so I use a screen reader to access the computer. I looked at the online course, but it was flash-based, and so it didn't work at all with my screen reader, so I got the MP3 thinking it would be a course sorta like an audiobook. I hope this won't be too difficult

  • Irish Speech Synthesizer for Computer

    Does anyone know where I can find an Irish text to speech synthesizer to download? I'm almost totally blind, and I use a screen reader, which is a text to speech program that converts written text on a screen to speech.

    What is this alt + gr? Also, I'm not sure how well installing keyboards would work with my computer, as I'm visually impaired and use a screen reader. Does this mean I have to memorize the alt plus a bunch of numbers?

  • Re: Fáilte/Welcome

    Hi there. I'm a definite newby, as in I only have a few words in Irish. I decided to learn the language because I've gotten into Celtic music really hard core, and I'd like to be able to sing along. Also, I've gotten hooked on listening to Radio na Gaeltachta and it would be nice to understand what the DJ's are saying. I'm from
