Exploring the Possibilities with OpenAI's Text to Speech API

I built this project because I was curious about what it was like to work with OpenAI's API. In this mini app, users input a string of text, hit generate and get back audio spoken by OpenAI's Alloy. Once a user hits 'generate', React sends the collected form data to the Express backend, which then passes the request body on to OpenAI. It may be overkill for this small project, but I knew that accessing OpenAI's API would involve an API key, so I wanted to create a secure place to store it (especially since it costs real money to use the API). Plus setting up a server and establishing routes is fun and easy with Express! Take a look at the readme file on GitHub to see a gif of this app in action.
