After pasting their desired text into the designated area, users must select their chosen voice from the available options.

Once everything is set, users can click the "Generate speech" button to produce the audio output.
Additionally, the text introduces Audacity, a widely used software tool for audio editing. Users are guided to find Audacity by searching online for its official website, audacityteam.org.
