In this litlle script there is a little program to make the computer say the words you type. It uses gtts from google, so it saves the new words in a folder called audio.
gtts is an Api that uses the google translate tool to make the computer say what you type. So we will use this tool to make this program here. You will need to install it with pip install gtts or
# create the mp3 letters audio files

t.save(f"audio/{word}.mp3")
