Fetches a page so Google can read it out loud with text-to-speech, at the moment a user asks. Formerly google-speakr. Google publishes fetcher addresses in two files — user-triggered-fetchers.json and user-triggered-fetchers-google.json — and does not say per fetcher which one applies, so verification means checking both; this index mirrors both.
A reader who asked Google to read your page aloud — often someone using it for accessibility — gets an error instead.
