1.That is the problem. Please help me...

2. I have installed pyttx3 with sudo pip install pyttsx3 command.

I have installed both 2 versions of pyttsx. pyttsx and pyttsx3. But when i changed pyttsx3 to pyttsx the "no module named 'engine'" error will appear.

Answer 1

import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
engine.say("Sa1lly sells seashells by the seashore")
engine.runAndWait()

This is under windows but should not make any difference or try this it works on my site
