\"Summary<\/a>Interest is growing in the new opportunities and facilities that may open up for Gaelic speakers and learners, as and when Automatic Speech Recognition in the language becomes a working reality. Island Voices has been following recent developments with interest through our “Same-time Subtitles<\/a>” and “Creative Craigard!<\/a>” posts. In fact, we’ve been participants in the process, as both contributors and beneficiaries, with 80 Gaelic videos now featuring subtitles enabled by the project team – from Guthan nan Eilean Series 1 and 2, plus further material from St\u00f2ras Be\u00f2 nan G\u00e0idheal<\/a> and Guth nan Siarach<\/a>! The project began with Soillse funding, and Will Lamb has now produced a short summary report on this initial stage of the work, including numerous links for further reading and examples. It’s available on the Soillse website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ach, a bharrachd air plug beag airson Guthan nan Eilean, bha beagan eachdraidh ann cuideachd, le Will Lamb a’ bruidhinn air mar a chuidich e Google aig toiseach a’ ghnothaich le bhith a’ cur G\u00e0idhlig san t-siostam, cuide ri rabhadh glic bho Anna NicSuain mu dheidhinn cuid dhe na duilgheadasan a tha ann fhathast an l\u00f9ib eadar-theangachadh, agus a dh’fhaodadh a bhith ann gu br\u00e0th…<\/p>\n
