Problem with pyttsx3 module not working in Visual Studio and Jupyter Notebook

I have the following code:

import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
engine.say("I will speak this text")
engine.runAndWait()

Note: I have already installed the pyttsx3 module using the command pip install pyttsx3

Errors:

1. Visual Studio

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "c:/Users/Arashi__/.ipynb_checkpoints/jarvis.py", line 1, in
<module>
    import pyttsx3 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyttsx3' ```

2.Jupyter notebook I executed the code line by line and got errors on the second line (around 100 lines of error of which, here, I show the last line for brevity sake):

KeyErrorTraceback (most recent call last) TypeError: item 2 in
_argtypes_ passes a union by value, which is unsupported.** this large error ```

3.after using engine= pyttsx3.init('dummy') instead of the engine= pyttsx3.init() my error is resolved but no output is generated.

How can I fix the above issues?

This is not how you use pyttsx3. This program should be using speak("Whatever goes here") and it should say it but I suggest you look at some tutorials on how to use pyttsx3 and take some python tutorials as well. It's quite easy once you look at some examples. Something else I did with pyttsx3 is this...

engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[0].id)


def speak(audio):
    engine.say(audio)
    engine.runAndWait()

Use def speak for the easier speak function. I put this at the top of my program. On an unrelated note, you can change the gender of the voice by changing the value 0 being Male and 1 being female.
