PotatoPotato

Inspiration

The current technology that helps visually impaired people read the web is really weak. The screen readers available are really messy and are dependent on a number of variables (machine architecture, availability, etc). There should be a better way for them to be able to access the information on the web.

What it does

It lets people conveniently record an audio of a news articles and send it to a server with a click of a button. People who wish to listen to the recorded articles can access a voice-interface website to listen to the articles.
