      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is a submission for the Murf AI Coding Challenge 2&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I Built:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
EduVoice is a browser-based web app designed specifically to help students with dyslexia overcome reading fatigue and comprehension struggles. By converting any educational text into clear, human-like audio using Murf AI's TTS API, EduVoice provides a smoother, more inclusive learning experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For students who find reading overwhelming, EduVoice offers a way to listen and learn — in the voice and pacing that works best for them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demo:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/19bKyrXeps-kXVVv4o3oULDOuJlKI_fmZ/view?usp=drivesdk" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://drive.google.com/file/d/19bKyrXeps-kXVVv4o3oULDOuJlKI_fmZ/view?usp=drivesdk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Code Repository:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://github.com/patil-diksha/EduVoice-Your-Learning-audio-companion.git" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/patil-diksha/EduVoice-Your-Learning-audio-companion.git&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How I Used Murf API:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
GET /v1/speech/voices: Fetched and displayed 150+ Murf AI voice options (with languages and genders) in a dynamic dropdown.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;POST /v1/speech/generate: Used to convert text chunks into high-quality audio clips.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Implemented a custom chunking mechanism to break long content into ~1-minute clips, improving usability for those with attention or processing difficulties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use Case &amp;amp; Impact:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Supporting Dyslexic Learners&lt;br&gt;
Dyslexia is one of the most common learning differences, affecting the ability to read fluently — not intelligence. Traditional learning environments often fail to accommodate this, leaving students behind despite their potential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;EduVoice is built to change that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's how:&lt;br&gt;
 Read-Aloud Alternative&lt;br&gt;
Converts textbooks, notes, or any learning material into spoken audio. This allows students to absorb content without the pressure of reading line-by-line.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Natural, Human-like Voice Options&lt;br&gt;
Choose from 150+ voices across genders and accents. This flexibility helps students engage with voices that are soothing, clear, and easy to follow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chunked for Cognitive Ease&lt;br&gt;
Instead of long monologues, text is split into ~1-minute audio segments. This format supports students with shorter attention spans, helping them focus, pause, and revisit sections as needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reinforces Multimodal Learning&lt;br&gt;
By turning visual content into auditory input, EduVoice supports auditory learning styles — a proven technique to help students with dyslexia retain information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Promotes Confidence &amp;amp; Inclusion&lt;br&gt;
When learners aren’t left behind by heavy reading loads, their self-confidence grows — and they start to thrive in environments once seen as challenging.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Built With&lt;br&gt;
 Murf AI Text-to-Speech API&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Vanilla)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Responsive UI with soft glassmorphism&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mobile-ready, browser-accessible&lt;/p&gt;
