A different approach to Irish transcription.

Irish, or Gaeilge, is a Goidelic Celtic language and the first official language of Ireland, spoken by roughly 1.76 million people who report some ability across Ireland, Northern Ireland, and diaspora communities in Britain, the US, Canada, and Australia. It has been an official language of the European Union since 2007 and its living heartlands are the Gaeltacht regions along the west coast. What trips up generic transcription tools is not an unfamiliar script, Irish uses the Latin alphabet, but three distinct regional dialects, Ulster, Connacht, and Munster, each with its own pronunciation, stress patterns, and vocabulary, plus the constant mid-sentence switching into English that shows up in real Irish recordings.

Where Irish transcription usually breaks down

Most transcription tools are tuned for English and a handful of other high-resource languages, and Irish rarely gets the same attention. A word spoken in the Munster dialect gets misheard as the Ulster spelling, place names and personal names get flattened into nonsense, and the moment a speaker code-switches into English mid-sentence, the transcript falls apart. Teams end up correcting entire passages by hand, or relying on the one bilingual colleague who has time to relisten, which erases most of the time an automated tool was supposed to save.

Reading the recording, not just the words

Speak AI transcribes Irish audio and video with speaker labels and timestamps, then reads the recording itself: which dialect is being spoken, where the speaker switches between Irish and English, and how the delivery changes across a long interview or broadcast. Names, place names, and callback details are extracted into structured fields your team can search and query. Then you can ask across your entire Irish archive with AI chat, using ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini built directly into the workspace.

• Irish (Gaeilge) audio and video, transcribed with speaker labels and translation into English or another language.
• Recognizes the three main dialects, Ulster, Connacht, and Munster, alongside An Caighdeán Oifigiúil, the official standard.
• Captions and subtitles (SRT, VTT) generated straight from the timestamped transcript.
• Export to Word, PDF, TXT, CSV, or JSON, depending on how your team needs to use it.

From one file to a searchable archive

The result is an Irish archive that behaves like a well-run English one. Interviews, broadcasts, and classroom recordings become searchable text instead of a folder of audio files nobody has time to relisten to, and dashboards you can customize and white-label track themes and volume across your Irish recordings over time. One multilingual education platform put its assessment recordings through this kind of workflow across embedded recorders spanning multiple languages, without hiring reviewers for each one.

And because Irish recordings rarely live in isolation from the rest of your work, the same engine scores calls and coaches teams on the same criteria, connecting Irish transcription to call scoring and the wider βάση γνώσεων your team already runs on.
