Hi Cearbhall. Thanks for this. What a good idea. It occurs to me that there maybe intereste from outside of Ireland too. Before I left Manchester, there was a thriving Irish language class at the Manchester Irish Centre. There were 3 levels of classes for adults and they had just set one up for children. The last I heard it was going very well. These people wouldn't necessarily be vips but I'm sure some of themn might have an interest in the language and technology. Also, I've passed your email on to my Irish teacher and the Irish Officer at Mayo County Council. Beir bua. Damien. -----Original Message----- From: espeak-gaeilge-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:espeak-gaeilge-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cearbhall O'Meadhra Sent: 12 August 2012 13:41 To: espeak-gaeilge@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [espeak-gaeilge] Setting up eSpeak-Gaeilge Hello Robbie, You are the first to arrive!

Of late I've been mostly limited to iPhone, but tomorrow, hopefully, I'll have the time to access the dropbox from my pc, and so, upload mucho data:-). Pity that Irish isn't good with conventional screenreaders yet, but in the meantime, there are sorta new languages, as you'll all know - irish as spoken by various screen-readers. Unfortuneately, I still find myself having to go through mails etc. letter by letter, and I can't reply on an iPhone, because I don't know how to do a fada on it. Very much looking forward to trying out espeak, and contributing as much as I can.
