I was experiencing the same issue, and that seemed to resolve that issue.

Now I received a new error (below). Do you have an idea on how to address?

Installing this package solved the challenge for me.

This worked for me as well. Thanks a lot

[dhavalvoraa]

Installing this package solved the challenge for me.

This worked for me as well, however the single line speak command does not work , so must set up engine and use the say command.

Installing this package solved the challenge for me.

try to uninstall you pyobjc then install 9.X version, see if it works

[gsj011014]

第一步：pip install pyttsx4 第二步：修改 xxxxxxx/site-packages/pyttsx4/drivers/nsss.py 文件，在头部添加代码 import objc 这样就可以正常工作了～

[willwade]

Personally pyttsx4 deviates quite a bit - the coqui stuff is ok. but its a bit of a overhead - this is cleaner IMHO https://github.com/thevickypedia/py3-tts (although they could do with stating its a fork)

[chelizichen]

Installing this package solved the challenge for me.

cool ! it works success on my mac machine!

[NaimurRahman3954]

I faced the same issue and it drove me crazy until I got here. Thanks, guys.

[nateshmbhat]

updated docs to address this and merged many bug fix PRs and published the library. if the issue persists, pls raise another issue.
