🌐 Polyglotty

Polyglotty is a powerful, minimalistic web application that allows users to seamlessly translate text between languages and convert both the original and translated text into speech — right in your browser. Whether you're learning a new language, practicing pronunciation, or communicating across borders, Polyglotty has you covered.

Built using Flask, JavaScript, and Google APIs, this tool offers seamless translation and natural-sounding text-to-speech functionality, wrapped in a clean and responsive UI.
