I am trying to use the python offline text to speech library pyttsx3. When I run the following script:
import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi')
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)
engine.say("hello friends")
I get this error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
