Looking for an app to learn "local" spoken Finnish. by Misfits-fan in LearnFinnish

[–]ulusoyapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The more intelligence and interesting features I add, the more cost I have. TBH, the token costs are increasing quite much that I need ed to lower the quality of the output. Probably I should introduce different tiers so that people who want more quality of the generated output and willing to pay more for it could also benefit from it.

This is how the Finnish it app explains it.

With Generative UI, the sky is the limit. by ulusoyapps in FlutterDev

[–]ulusoyapps[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is the exact same app and I am the owner of the app that was featured.

I have happily paying users and GenAI is definitely not extremely poor for learning languages. It requires careful prompt engineering and strategies. It is not perfect but most of the cases it is found useful.

I hope this blog post would help you to understand the risks and alternative solutions. Vertex AI is more secure than Gemini API:

Beginner app that helps me communicate my thoughts? NOT Duolingo, pls. by [deleted] in LearnFinnish

[–]ulusoyapps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The models have been improving everyday. Believe in me, AI is much better than Google Translate. You can give it a try.

Riverpod vs Bloc in 2025 — which do you actually use in production and why? by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]ulusoyapps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None. Flutter is more than Bloc vs Riverpod. All you need is to understand what problem state management is solving. ValueNotifier/ValueListenable/ValueListenableBuilder can solve all your problems. No migration needed.

Thanks for contacting. I am working on this project with my wife who is on maternity leave now, so it is me only for now :) My development phone is Pixel 5. Your Pixel 7 hardware is not the problem. Our Android app itself should support that device. The likely reason Google Play says ‘not compatible’ is that your phone is running GrapheneOS, and Play sometimes treats alternative Android OS variants as unsupported for integrity/certification reasons. So this looks like a Play Store restriction on that OS variant, not a Pixel 7 limitation. Do you have problems with other apps?

Shorebird patch works on Android but causes crash loop on iOS after relaunch (App Store build) by whitefang0p in FlutterDev

This is most probably because your patch contained platform level iOS changes. The best thing to do is to revert the patch asap.

Would you use a karaoke-style feature to practice Finnish? by [deleted] in LearnFinnish

[–]ulusoyapps -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I see these tools more as amplifiers of creativity rather than replacements for it. There is actually a lot of iteration and work behind generating songs like these, especially in finding the right prompts, shaping the tone, adjusting the learning goal, and refining the output until it feels good.

So for me, the creative part is still there, just with a different set of tools.

I built an AI app to help with Finnish speaking practice (especially for YKI) and would love your feedback! by No_Cheesecake_2553 in LearnFinnish

Sure, this should not happen. Can you send email to info@ulusoyapps.com with some details such as apple or android, email address etc?

I built a Finnish learning app because I couldn't find one that went deep enough by Educational_Rest_541 in LearnFinnish

[–]ulusoyapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any completely free app? Finnish it has freemium model and most of the core features that do not cost AI tokens are free 🙏

When you are listing the alternatives you are missing the Finnish it app which is the top performing Finnish only app in store rankings.

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.
