Introduction to Read Aloud

Read Aloud is a specialized version of ChatGPT designed to convert text from images into spoken words. It aims to assist users by reading text out loud, especially useful for those who prefer auditory learning or have visual impairments. The core functionality revolves around receiving images containing text from users, processing these images to extract the text, and then converting this text into a format that can be read aloud.
