DuomeScraper

This project scrapes the Italian words (& any other languages available on Duolingo) from the Duome website (https://duome.eu/vocabulary/en/it) using Playwright, then it downloads phonetics from GoogleTextToSpeech (gTTS) & creates Anki flashcards.

⚠️ Known (possible) issues

• If all word elements didn't load all at once, we should scroll down to retrieve all the words. However, this feature has not been implemented yet, as the website displays all words at once (all necessary elements are visible after load).
• Some languages, like German, don't have definitions. When accessing the definition element, an exception may be raised.
