How to Use YT Video Downloader

Using this app is super simple; as easy as 1, 2, 3!

First, you need to type the actual message you want the program to read in the text box towards the left

Then, you need to select the volume, speech rate, and voice. Remember that the lower the speech rate, the slower the voice and vice-versa. 200 is recommended.

Lastly, you need to press the big button that says listen to listen to the program, then press download to download the file into the program's parent directory!
