import pyttsx3
# Initialize the engine
engine = pyttsx3.init()
# Adjust speaking rate
rate = engine.getProperty('rate')
print(f'Current speaking rate: {rate}')
engine.setProperty('rate', 125)
# Adjust volume
volume = engine.getProperty('volume')
print(f'Current volume level: {volume}')
engine.setProperty('volume', 1.0)
# Change voice
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id) # Selecting a female voice
# Make the engine speak
engine.say("Hello World!")
engine.say(f'My current speaking rate is {rate}')
print("test")
engine.runAndWait()
engine.stop()
I have tried everything. Python and pyttsx3
are in the newest version, the drivers are up-to-date. The code compiles perfectly without errors. But there was just no sound. Is there any configuration I should do before using pyttsx3
?

Maybe it's worth adding a pause after engine.runAndWait()
?
So, the final code will look like this:
import pyttsx3
import time
# Initialize the engine
engine = pyttsx3.init()
# Adjust speaking rate
rate = engine.getProperty('rate')
print(f'Current speaking rate: {rate}')
engine.setProperty('rate', 125)
# Adjust volume
volume = engine.getProperty('volume')
print(f'Current volume level: {volume}')
engine.setProperty('volume', 1.0)
# Change voice
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id) # Selecting a female voice
# Make the engine speak
engine.say("Hello World!")
engine.say(f'My current speaking rate is {rate}')
print("test")
engine.runAndWait()
time.sleep(3)
engine.stop()
