Example Suppose you have an image named "example.png" with english text. After running the script, the extracted text will be saved in "output_text.txt," and the generated German/english or any audio of your choice audio will be saved in "output_audio.mp3."

The extracted and cleaned text will be here

The content of "output_text.txt" You can listen to the generated German audio by playing the "output_audio.mp3" file.
