# Image To Audio Story

## Overview

Transforms images into narrated stories by combining vision AI with language generation and speech synthesis.

**How it works:**
1. **Image Input** - Your photo, artwork, or any visual
2. **AI Vision + Story** - AI analyzes the image and writes a narrative
3. **Text-to-Speech** - Converts the story to spoken audio
4. **Audio Output** - Narration you can save or share

**Prompt examples:**
- "Describe this image as if you're a museum curator"
- "Write a short poem inspired by this artwork"
- "Create a brief backstory for this scene"
