I just want to come back to this point about updating the Microsoft A.I Irish with A.I from Abair.ie (ABAIR) as soon as possible please - As it says on their website it is a ‘STATE OF THE ART’ speech and language technology for the Irish Gaelic language with far better synthesis and recognition for Irish than what’s currently used on many platforms and apps, including Lingq.
It is important to teach consistent and correct pronunciation, in particular for minority languages like Irish, which unfortunately Microsoft DOES NOT do at all, and if left unchecked can be disastrous for the language and future learners.
Positive updates on this would be appreciated.
