Nisome

Nisome in Swahili means read me. That's what it does :)

You can see the trial run here: YouTube Link

Steps to run the app locally:

Google Cloud Vision API:

1. Enable Google Cloud Vision API (resource)
2. Set up authentication for Cloud Vision's client library by creating a service account (resource)
3. Store the credentials (downloaded as a JSON file) in a secure location.

IBM Watson Text to Speech API:

1. Create service credentials for the Text to Speech API (resource)
2. API Documentation (Node.js client library)

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/bensooraj/nisome.git
cd nisome/
touch .env

Configure the environment variables in the .env file, in the following format:

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=./GoogleCloudVisionServiceAccountCred/service-account-cred.json
IBM_WATSON_TEXT_TO_SPEECH_USERNAME=some-random-gibberish-watson-username
IBM_WATSON_TEXT_TO_SPEECH_PASSWORD=gibberish-watson-password

Note: I am storing Google Cloud Vision's (service credentials) json file under GoogleCloudVisionServiceAccountCred within my project directory (just a random choice).

Finally,

npm install
npm start
