accessibility

README is more than just accessible, it's a no-hand life-changer.

Any text, handwritten or printed, can be read out loud, whether it be through the click of the button or voice activation.

The text data is then sent over to GCP TTS, and the service synthesizes a base64 audio file. The pipeline of the GCP APIs is written in Golang and is served on Google Cloud App Engine as a REST API.
