Speech Mode not working: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'AppKit'

[andrewbaisden]

I have an M1 MacBook Pro and I get this error when I try to use Speech Mode:

I tried installing these packages and still had the same error.

pip install pyobjc

pip install AppKit

I also get this error when trying to update the playsound package to 1.3.0. Only 1.2.2 will install all other versions fail https://pypi.org/project/playsound/#history

These issues are related:

OSError: Unable to load sound #856

In speak mode: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi' #1697

--speak mode not working #483

The Speech Mode worked in this previous build but not the latest one I have only been able to get the text mode to work.

I solved it and found a working solution.

If pyobjc is already installed and you still can't see the AppKit module, there might be an issue with your Python environment or installation. In this case, consider creating a new virtual environment or reinstalling Python to ensure a clean setup.

I have Python 3.11 downloaded and installed from https://www.python.org/. Using the command which python3 will show you where it's installed on your computer.

To create a new virtual environment, run:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3 -m venv my_new_env
source my_new_env/bin/activate
pip install pyobjc

Then install the packages in the new virtual environment:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then run it in Speech Mode:

python3 -m autogpt --speak

To get custom ELEVENLABS voices ass these to the .env file and make sure you put the IDs in the right place.

### ELEVENLABS
## ELEVENLABS_API_KEY - Eleven Labs API key (Example: my-elevenlabs-api-key)
## ELEVENLABS_VOICE_1_ID - Eleven Labs voice 1 ID (Example: my-voice-id-1)
## ELEVENLABS_VOICE_2_ID - Eleven Labs voice 2 ID (Example: my-voice-id-2)
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=YOUR API KEY
ELEVENLABS_VOICE_1_ID=21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM
ELEVENLABS_VOICE_2_ID=AZnzlk1XvdvUeBnXmlld
