Talking Bear Flutter App

Welcome to the Talking Bear Flutter app! This project aims to recreate the delightful experience of the talking Tom game from our childhood using the latest technologies available to us. The app utilizes Rive for animations, Riverpod for state management, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech AI for text-to-speech and device's built in speech-to-text functionalities, and Chat GPT API for generating interesting and random responses. The primary goal is to create an interactive and cute application that listens, interacts, and generates exciting results for kids.
