- A part of the code was taken from this book:
Alan D. Moore. Python GUI Programming with Tkinter. Second Edition- The icon was taken from `this place https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/dictionary_7793703?term=dictionary&page=3&position=77&origin=tag&related_id=7793703`_.
- Python 3.11, Tkinter, pyttsx3.

- For faster searching through dictionaries better to create separate groups of dictionaries.
