Why function based views instead of class based views?
Personal preference. I find function based views more clear and verbose in what they do as compared to class based (magic) views.
Why pyttsx3?
Other options were gTTS which did not have male/female voice options, and Google Cloud TTS / IBM Watson, neither of which are easily accessible (require banking information). So this module became the go to choice.

- Default page is the merge portal, upload valid video and audio files.
- It should give a Preview button after clicking merge, if something went wrong either ffmpeg is not in path or uploaded files are invalid.
- The TTS page accepts text file with readable text.
Example contents: "The quick brown fox jumped over a branch."
- If the text file is valid a download button would be visible.
