```

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

```bash
python tts_server.py
```

**Run the frontend script:**

```bash
python frontend.py
```

Flow:
1. Open a web page in the Firefox instance launched by the script.
2. Select any text on the page.

4. Click the "Speak" button.
5. The selected text will be spoken aloud.
