How to Create Irish Captions

Irish captions are an important way to make sure that a business or organization’s audio and video content is accessible to all viewers and listeners, no matter their native language. Irish is spoken in many countries, such as Ireland, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and is the official language of the Republic of Ireland. According to the Central Statistics Office of Ireland, 1.77 million people in Ireland are native speakers of Irish, making it the most widely spoken indigenous language in the country.

What are Captions and How Are They Different Than Subtitles?

Captions are text-based versions of audio in a video. They provide a transcription of the audio, including sound effects and speaker identification, so that viewers can understand what is being said. Captions are different from subtitles, which provide a translation of the content instead of a transcription.

Benefits of Transcription and Creating Captions for Audio and Video in the Irish Language

Creating captions for audio and video in the Irish language provides a number of benefits. First, it allows for more people to access the content, regardless of their native language. It also increases search engine optimization (SEO) because the transcription of the audio is indexed by search engines. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to reach a larger audience, as well as to create content that is more accessible to people with hearing impairments.
