Irish AI text to speech

How Gaeilge spelling turns into sound
Irish spelling follows rules that a letter-by-letter reader gets wrong. These five are the ones teachers and editors check first when they listen back.
Initial mutations change the first sound
mo chara / i mBaile Átha Cliath
Lenition turns c into ch after mo, and eclipsis puts an m in front of Baile so the b goes silent. A voice that sounds out mBaile as written is wrong, so these forms are the first thing to listen for in a preview.
Broad and slender consonants
bád / báid
Boat and boats differ only in the final d, which changes quality with the vowel letters beside it. The spelling carries that difference, so copy the vowel letters exactly; a dropped i turns boats back into boat.
Sean or Seán: why the fada matters
sean / Seán
Sean means old and Seán is a name. A fada marks a long vowel, so a script pasted from an email that lost its accents will be read as different words. Spellings such as bh and mh, said like v or w, are read from the letters you supply.
One question, three regional answers
Conas atá tú? / Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú? / Cad é mar atá tú?
All three mean how are you, and each belongs to a different part of the country. Schools often teach the standard written form, An Caighdeán, with one regional sound. Pronunciation varies by region, so if your class expects a particular sound, ask for it in the direction and listen to a short block first.
Euro after a number stays the same
dhá euro, trí euro, cúig euro
Most Irish nouns mutate or change form after a number, but euro does not. Irish also has two counting styles, fiche cúig and cúig is fiche, so pick one for a course and keep it.

Three blocks for a Conas atá tú phrase video
Two narrators share a short phrase lesson for an Irish learner channel: one greets and signs off, the other gives the phrase to repeat. Swap the phrase next week and only the middle block is generated again.
01Mabel
Style: Speak in Irish with a cheerful hello to returning viewers.
Dia daoibh, a chairde! Fáilte ar ais chuig an gcainéal.
02Harlan
Style: Read in Irish slowly, pausing so learners can copy the phrase.
Abair i mo dhiaidh: Conas atá tú?
03Mabel
Style: Speak in Irish with a warm thank-you to the learners, easing the pace on the last line.
Go raibh maith agaibh as féachaint. Ná déanaigí dearmad subscribe a dhéanamh.
A new phrase each week
Next week the phrase might be Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú instead. Type it into the middle block and regenerate only that one; Mabel’s hello and goodbye stay as recorded.
Tell the narrator who is listening
A direction such as "for first-year learners, slow and clear" does more than a list of adjectives. For one gentler phrase, put [softly] directly in front of it.

See why creators, publishers, and teams rely on Narration Box for natural-sounding voice content.
“Quality of voices and ease of use made Narration Box the perfect choice for my fiction podcast The Program. It's the only voice synthesis service that knew the difference between 'live frugally' and 'live broadcast' and that could pronounce Mar-a-Lago.”
Ivan
Creator, The program audio series
“We've been using Narration Box for a while now, and are grateful to the team behind it! It allows us to create audio versions of our books and articles in many languages, within seconds. The generated audio sounds very natural and is almost indistinguishable from a real narrator. What an amazing service for creators, and it keeps evolving! I highly recommend it.”
Reto Stuber
CEO, Stuber Media
“The user-interface is great. Nice and simple without too many bells and whistles. The array of voices are also good, though some are definitely better than others. With that said, you can adjust the speaking pace for each voice, which does improve the flow, making voices seem less artificial. Also, the free plan is generous.”
Tom W.
Filmmaker
Review on G2
“Narration Box has allowed me to get away from having to set up my own recording studio. Previously, I had an idea of hiring a human narrator but there was so much hassle as well as costs. The voice choices are pretty good, especially the enhanced voices. I love the options available to further personalize the AI narrator's speech within the text. Narration Box saved me so much time for several small projects. I actually made audio clips whilst writing another book.”

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Questions teachers, councils, and Irish-language creators ask about mutations, dialect, and files.
Irish text to speech
Is this page for the Irish language or for an Irish accent in English?
This page is for text written in Irish (Gaeilge). If you want English read with an Irish accent, use the English text to speech page at /text-to-speech/english and write the accent into the direction line, for example "Speak with a soft Irish accent".
Will words like mBaile and mo chara be read correctly?
The narrator works from the spelling, so type each mutation exactly as the textbook writes it, including the lowercase prefix before a capital. Then play the block and check forms like mBaile, where the b should be silent, before you generate the full lesson.
Which dialect does the Irish AI voice use?
Pronunciation varies by region, and the narrators do not all sound the same. If your class or audience expects a particular regional sound, say so in the style instruction and listen to a short block first before you generate a full lesson.
My worksheet was pasted from email and the fadas are gone. Does that matter?
Missing fadas change words, so sean and Seán would be read as different words. Restore the accents before you generate, especially in text copied from email or a PDF that did not keep them.
How do I write prices and percentages in Irish scripts?
Write €25 or 20% as figures and the narrator says them in Irish. If you prefer the older counting style, such as cúig euro is fiche, type the words in full so every recording uses the same form.
Can a teacher try Irish audio without a budget?
Yes. 1,000 words are free with no credit card, about a few listening tasks or one notice. Anything exported on the free plan has a watermark, which goes away on a paid plan with a bigger word allowance.
Who on Narration Box can read Gaeilge aloud?
The library holds 1,500+ AI voices across 80+ languages, and some of them are Enbee V1 voices made for Irish. For the clips on this page we picked four of the 21 Enbee V2 narrators (12 female, 9 male); open any block with "Speak in Irish" and whichever one you choose reads Gaeilge.
Can a school clone a teacher’s voice for Irish audio?
Yes, when the teacher agrees. Record or upload a short sample of a voice you own or have permission to use, then assign the clone to any block. Play an Irish block first, since how a voice carries into Irish varies.
Which file formats can I download, and can a school or council use them?
Export MP3, WAV, Opus, FLAC, or OGG, as one file for the whole lesson or as one file per block for a VLE or phone system. Commercial and public use is covered on paid plans under the subscription terms.
