supplementary-reader: text reader script

[Devin Prater]

See OCRDesktop https://github.com/chrys87/ocrdesktop <https://github.com/chrys87/ocrdesktop> for something kinda similar. Orca is a screen reader, it cannot read images though. I don’t know of anything else anywhere remotely similar to this, but I think even blind people could find this useful.

I will refrain from pasting the entire README, but what makes this different from things discussed in this list is 1) the keyboard shortcuts are available across the desktop 2) the program never provides a window or takes up any screen space 3) the program can work on images and pdfs 4) this is a text reader as opposed to a screen reader.

Is there a larger project that I can add this functionality to? I might be willing to rewrite the whole thing in another programming language if there is a reason.
