I\'m trying to install TTS package by using this. Everything was okay until I tried to execute the following command:

import pyttsx

I got b

Answer 1

I just had the same problem, try using pyttsx3 instead of pyttsx First install pyttsx3

pip install pyttsx3

and change the

import pyttsx

for

import pyttsx3

After that you have to change engine import (if you're using it in your main .py file). Use engineio instead. Install it

pip install python-engineio

then change import engine for import engineio and change your variables.

Here's an example

import pyttsx3
# import engineio #engineio module is not needed.

engineio = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engineio.getProperty('voices')
engineio.setProperty('rate', 130)    # Aquí puedes seleccionar la velocidad de la voz
engineio.setProperty('voice',voices[0].id)

def speak(text):
    engineio.say(text)
    engineio.runAndWait()

speak("What do you want me to say?")
while(1):
    phrase = input("--> ")
    if (phrase == "exit"):
        exit(0)
    speak(phrase)
    print(voices)

Hope this helps someone
