Why convert TXT to WAV?
A .txt file stores encoded characters; a .wav file stores PCM audio samples recording sound pressure at a fixed sample rate. There is no conversion path between them - producing audio from text requires a TTS engine to generate sound from scratch, which is synthesis, not conversion.
