Why scroll and read, when you can listen? Python Flask, SocketIO, RabbitMQ based chat web app that reads messages aloud while you work on other stuff.

chat2speech

A prototype of a chat app that reads aloud chat messages so you do not need to constantly read the chat message log. Prototype = rushed code.

Built using the Python Flask and Flask Socket IO libraries, Rabbit MQ, Google's Materialize CSS and some Docker.

Included links to referenced articles and documentation below. Thanks!
