🍲 FOOD VISION V1

A powerful Nigerian food detection and analysis app that seamlessly integrates Roboflow, Google Gemini AI, Gradio, and Text-to-Speech technologies. Upload any food image, and the system detects the dish, explains its health benefits, nutritional value, suitability for diabetics, common ingredients, and preparation methods — with audio output in real time.

⚡️ Built to simplify how developers can build intelligent, multimodal systems — from vision to voice — with minimal code!
