Hi@akhtar,

To avoid this error you have to install this module in your system using the below command.

$ pip install pyttsx3
$ conda install pyttsx3

Hope this will help.

I tried with pip installation but that shows that pyttsx3 is already installed and satisfies all requirements. But when I write import pyttsx3 it comes with error : Unable to import 'pyttsx3'

Hi, @There,

Could you please mention which version of Python you are working with?

 For me, pyttsx3 wasn't working with Python3.5.

To fix this, Inside PyCharm, you can do one thing-> File -> Settings -> Project: -> Project Interpreter.
Then click on the "+" sign available beside the package-table. Next, in the popped-up window,  search for the package "pyttsx3". 

Then I select the pyttsx3-package from the search result and click on the 'Install Package' button. Once the installation completes, your error problem might get resolved.

Hello,

You can also try this

engine = pyttsx3.init('dummy') or engine = pyttsx.init('dummy')

I have done this and even installed pypiwin32 but it is showing the same error. what should I do

Hello @Lakshay,

Start a power shell window, then install 'pipenv' using  pip install -u pipenv, which is an improved pip replacement.Then use pipenv instead of pip as this will create it's own Pipfile and virtualenv.Now you can install pyttsx3 using pipenv install pyttsx3 This will create a Pipfile and a Pipfile.lock . Otherwise check that your python interpreter is set correctly in "Run/Debug configurations". If it's not in that list then you can add a new python interpreter via the Preferences->Project->Project Interpreter option.

yes this worked for me.

Hello @Atharva,

What error you are facing?

why I get this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mac/Desktop/AI ass.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pyttsx3
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyttsx3'

Hi, @Sultan,

Start a pyCharm terminal window, then install 'pipenv' which is an improved pip replacement as follows:  

pip install -u pipenv 

Then use pipenv instead of pip as this will create it's own Pipfile and virtualenv. You can install pyttsx3 as follows:

 pipenv install pyttsx3

I tried everything to import pyttsx3

but it is showing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\#Best\.py\SKITTY.py", line 12, in <module>
    import pyttsx3
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyttsx3'

I used pipenv but nothing worked.

Same thing is happening with Tensorflow, Pytorch and many other external modules.

:-(

Hey, @Atharva,

Which version of Python your Pycharm is set and on which version of Python you installed the module, please post the versions here. You can do more things, Go to File -> Settings -> Project:.. -> Project Interpreter, and check which version of Python you run on the project. Then go to the CMD/ terminal and write pip -V and it will tell you the pip version and the Python one. Might be a different version.

At a guess - installing the correct library into your environment would help.

I don’t know if you are using a virtual environment - they certainly recommend, but in your working environment (i.e. the same environment you are trying to run the script) execute this command :

pip install pyttsx3 

I think you are missing the pyttsx3 package.
