main.py

This is the main script for the project. It uses the ElevenLabs client to convert text to speech. The text to be converted, the voice settings, and the output format are all configurable.

The script first initializes the ElevenLabs client with the API key. It then uses the text_to_speech.convert method to convert the text to speech. The voice ID, streaming latency optimization, and output format are all set as parameters. The text to be converted is a quote from the movie "Forrest Gump". The voice settings are also configured to add a touch of style to the speech.

The script is designed to be run from the command line, with the API key provided as an environment variable.
