A dyslexic student learning maths in their second language is navigating
three challenges simultaneously: the maths, the words, and the decoding.
Most tools address zero of those.
A student says 'I'm just not a maths person'. Why?
They're usually describing a moment when the language stopped making sense and nobody was able to help them through it.
They lacked the resources. That’s why you have Academic Fish!
Here's a glimpse of the topics available on Academic Fish in Irish.

Struggling with Arithmetic?
We’ve got you. 💙
Translate terms, hear pronunciation, and learn with clarity, anytime, anywhere.
Your notes just got smarter.
Building something meaningful also means taking care of the people building it.
A reminder that progress needs balance.
Within two weeks of launching Academic Fish in China, over 200 people had joined us. Within two months, that number had grown to 2,000 users!
For a small startup, it felt like everything was finally falling into place. However, this followed with a major setback as our developers dropped out.
It was difficult. It was frustrating.
It feels like we are starting from zero again. But that’s the reality of building a startup.
Today, we’re still here. Still learning. Still growing. And every new student, teacher, and school that discovers Academic Fish reminds us why we started in the first place. If you’d like to be part of the next chapter, download Academic Fish or learn more at www.academicfish.com.

What if the person who struggled most in school became the one to fix it?
Mary McIntaggart joined Charu Verma Pandey in her episode of The Marketing Tarot Podcast!
Mary left school early, raised three children, young and then went back into education on her own terms. From teaching in Belfast's toughest schools to working internationally in Turkey, China, and Vietnam, Mary discovered a problem no one was solving: multilingual students couldn't access STEM education in their own language. So she built the solution herself.

Progress isn’t always forward. Sometimes it means rebuilding.
The journey has changed, but the mission remains the same.
Still building. Still learning. 🐟

Imagine using AI for academic maths.
One inaccurate translation can completely change a student's understanding.
The latest Irish-language AI leaderboard shows that model size doesn't always mean better performance, especially for low-resource languages like Irish.
As language technology evolves, choosing the right tools matters more than ever for learners, educators and workplaces.

We visited a school last month. The teacher had one specific problem she needed to solve.
Here's what happened when we showed her Academic Fish.
