## Text to Speech Guide

1. In the **Input Section**, type or paste any text that you want to convert to speech. You can also upload a .pdf or .doc file and extract text from that.

> Sample Text: "In the heart of an ancient forest, where sunlight trickles through the dense canopy, a symphony of life unfolds. The air is rich with the scent of damp earth and blooming wildflowers, while the soft rustle of leaves whispers secrets of the past. A curious fox darts between the trees, its fiery coat a vibrant contrast against the lush greenery. Nearby, a crystal-clear stream dances over smooth stones, its gentle gurgle harmonizing with the distant call of a woodpecker. This serene haven, untouched by time, invites wanderers to pause and breathe in the tranquility, reminding them of nature's quiet majesty."

2. Choose a voice from the available options. Following are the available **accents**:
