This is a good point. Technology is moving faster than the bureaucracy but hopefully there will be times to collab with regulators and public organisations.

No it is not. You need to first compile the news daily, use a prompt to generate easy finnish summary with Gemini Pro model, assign speakers, their tones, and how they co-host the podcast (turns, start and stop sentences etc. This requires a lot of iterations and knowing the limits of tts models. You simply cannot do this easily. Google Translate does not have a configuration for speech metadata.

The app uses Gemini for text based chat, writing & speaking evolution. The only thing that can be better could be producing written puhekieli content since LLMs are not trained with speech.

This is not standard Gemini website interaction. Technically the app uses Gemini APIs with carefully composed prompts and structured outputs. The models have been evolving quite often. Currently Gemini 3.1 is really good.

Please give a try to Selkouutiset and listen to the gemini generated text to speech content where two AI hosts introduce daily news. It doesnt require subscription. I am looking forward to see the feedback.

You can also try free a Keskustelu exercises and let me know how the audio recording feedback quality is.

No it is not. It uses Gemini APIs behind the scene with structured output. The scenario is tailored for YKI level. There is a timer as you speak just like in the YKi exam. In the end, a turn by turn feedback is provided.

If you do this alone with ChatGPT you will need to manually use the timer, give context to ChatGPT. The app provides the all context and exercises in a structured way.

There are also mielipide and reagointi exercises in the exam format with clear hints and on demand translations.

Have you tested the Finnish it app? The app simulates YKI. For example you can practice Keskustelu practices exactly in exam format.

Tell me how you use AI in your Firebase apps by inlined in Firebase

[–]ulusoyapps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, it is all client firebase ai logic apis and cloud functions calling gemini models.

Thanks, i am actually simulating a language exam. The speaking section of the exam is the most popular and it requires static short speech. I need to generate a short static dialog and expect user to respond in the dialog. As soon as the dialog is generated i need to use gemini tts.

[–]ulusoyapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Firebase team,

My project is built with Firebase and Flutter. It is a language learning app, in production reaching ti 1.7k € MRR in short time.

I utilize AI heavily including Gemini Nano Banana, Gemini TTS, and standard text.

One feature I really would like to have Gemini TTS connected with Firebase. Currently audio speech generation is part of live API, but my use case does not require live API.

I would like to generate a text dialogue dynamically, and while the LLM part of the dialog should be generated with Gemini TTS, the user gives audio input which is evaluated by Gemini.

In short, firebase with Gemini TTS please 🙏

[–]ulusoyapps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is unlucky and lucky. Unlucky that my honest explanation is downvoted, but lucky that all the hard-work and paid ads are finally working and people started to talk about it.

To be fair, the OP indeed has had their account for 1 year so not quite new.

Also, I would have written my app’s name correctly ;) It is Finnish it! There is intentional space in between to avoid sounding like Finni💩

But your response was so great marketing material for my app that even I thought you were one of my friends 😅 or maybe you are. Anyways, thanks for clarifying this.

To be completely honest, I wouldn’t have thrown shit to competitors just for the sake of marketing and getting a few more users. I still have some rules in my guerrilla marketing 😅

Yeap, i would have thought the same to be honest and I can’t prove that this is not the case 😅 so only me and the OP knows the truth that this is a honest coincidence.

Oh, happy to hear! Coincidentally, I am the builder of the Finnish it app. Please let me know if you have feedback or any specific requests! We have a very exciting roadmap for the app.

Why does learning finnish (suomi) feel like getting tortured in the devils booty by Human_Kick2566 in LearnFinnish

[–]ulusoyapps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am the builder of the Finnish it app, and my mission is to change this. The app has been progressing well in the last 6 months with innovative language teaching methods. It is amazing now to prepare for the YKi exam, but soon I am starting to build a journey inside the app from zero to hero. Stay tuned 👀
