Getting error in installing PyObjC in virtual environment

Question

I have created a virtual environment and doing a speech assistant. While trying to install PyObjC, I am getting the following error. I am using windows.. Any alternatives for that?

 (venv) PS C:\Anirudh\Python\ani_speech_assistant> pip install PyObjC

You can only install PyObjC in a macos. I think you are trying it on windows.

@AayanamAnirudh: What kind of alternative are you looking for? PyObjC is inherently a macOS package, it is used to expose macOS specific APIs to Python code. – Ronald Oussoren Sep 07 '20 at 08:12
In a course it was used for speech recognition.. I need something that can do similar work in windows... "When we dont use it, the speech is stored as a mp4 file and then it is played... But to prevent that we can install this.." said by the instructor... Hence I am looking something similar to that – Sep 07 '20 at 13:10
