Text-to-Audio Converter Gradio App

A simple Gradio web application that converts text input into an audio file.

Features

• Converts text to speech using Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS).
• Outputs audio in WAV if ffmpeg and pydub are installed.
• User-friendly web interface powered by Gradio.

Updates

• Can ask question from any LLM (change model variable and its corresponding API key in app.py)
• The response of LLM is then converted into audio file (wav format)
