timf34/Article2Audio — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple app that turns online articles into spoken audio.

I want a small web app where someone can paste an article URL, have the page text pulled in automatically, and then generate an audio version using OpenAI text to speech. It should feel straightforward for a normal user, show the article title and cleaned up text, let them listen in the browser, and download the audio file if they want. If an article can’t be scraped cleanly, show a helpful error instead of crashing.

If it already makes sense for this project, also include a basic command line or script option so someone can run the same thing without the web UI.

Please keep the setup simple, use environment variables for API keys, and make the project easy to run locally. A minimal but decent looking interface is enough. Look up current docs online if you need to.
