I am doing a tutorial on voice-based assistant. But I keep getting error while compiling the code. I am using M1 mac. my code:
import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init('nsss')
engine.say('Hello sir, how may I help you, sir.')
engine.runAndWait()
code error:
I also installed pyobjc module as some other answers suggested on StackOverflow. Still not working.
