- Verify the Voices
Ensure that the voices are correctly installed and accessible by SAPI5. You can do this by running the following code to list all available voices:
import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5') voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
for voice in voices: print(f"Voice: {voice.name}") print(f" - ID: {voice.id}") print(f" - Languages: {voice.languages}") print(f" - Gender: {voice.gender}") print(f" - Age: {voice.age}\n")
2. Check Registry Changes
If you made registry changes to unlock more voices, ensure that these changes are correct. Undo any changes if possible to revert to the original state. Here is a summary of what the registry changes might look like:
Open regedit.
Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SPEECH_OneCore\Voices\Tokens`.
Ensure that the subkeys under Tokens correspond to actual voice files on your system.
3. Reinstall SAPI5 Voices and libraries
Reinstall or repair the SAPI5 voices.
4. Modify Your Code
There might be an issue with how the voices property is being set. Instead of `engine.setProperty('voices', voices[0].id)`, it should be `engine.setProperty('voice', voices[0].id)`.import pyttsx3
Initialize the TTS engine
engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')
Set volume level
engine.setProperty('volume', 1.0)
Get available voices
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
Print the first voice ID
print(voices[0].id)
Set the voice to the first available voice
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[0].id)
Speak the text
engine.say("hello world") engine.runAndWait()
Hope this helps
