A bot that searches Reddit API and exports stories as audio files. ((The audio files are a bit slow and I would like to change the voice but am not sure how yet.))

FIRST, Make sure you have the latest version of python installed on your machine. You can find the download here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
-
Download the file "Reddit_Bot_Main"

-
Save the file to your desktop in a new folder named Reddit_Files. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO TYPOS! MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE FILE AS A PYTHON SCRIPT BY CHANGING .TXT TO A .py
-
Double click on the file to run your code and just wait while audio files are exported to the foler. a. If that dosent work you may have to run the file directly from the terminal, Open Your terminal and navigate to the directory the file is located in, then type, python Reddit_Bot_main.py and your code should run b. You will be prompted to enter your search query into the terminal, Type in the words or phrases you want your stories to be about, like "AITAH", or "Storytime"
