accessible gaelic language iPhone apps?
Guys A bit late to the party, I know, but this has been an issue for me for a while as well. I tried to learn Scots Gaelic a couple of times in the old days before iPhones and it was murder not being able to read and write it on my Mac. Clearly there are two difficulties, dictionary and voice. The one is not much use without the other, I fear. I wonder if this is a case for making representations for these to be developed? I have long thought that the best way to preserve Gaelic is to make sure kids can make proper use of it on their iDevices. The Scottish Government spends substantial amounts of money on bilingual road signs and the like and I can’t help but think this would be a far more cost effective thing to fund. I am going to bring this up with my MP, who took her oath in Parliament in Gaelic, so must be sympathetic and I will report back. Anyone with any other useful contacts might do the same.

accessible gaelic language iPhone apps?
I haven't found an app yet that incorporates written and spoken words. I found a pretty accessible dictionary called Teach Me Gaelic, which is for Irish. I also found a YouTube post of a BBC program on Scots Gaelic. It really also depends which language you want to learn. Welsh is from a different Gaelic branch than Scots and Irish, and Scots and Irish are different enough from each other that you might want to stick to one or the other. (We won't even go into Manx :) ) I think it would be great to have Irish, Scots, or Welsh voices in iOS. there's a Scots online school in Nova Scotia that I found out about as well. I don't know if the apps they use are accessible. Sorry I can't be of more help. I'd love to at least find a repository of translated songs. teresa -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Look at www.openculture.com under languages I think they might have something. Ward On 7/14/2015 11:12 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: I haven't found an app yet that incorporates written and spoken words.

I strongly second Simon's question! I would love to be able to understand even just a little bit of the traditional gaelic music that I love.
