Recently, I have been trying to work on a voice assistant project. so, I installed pyttsx3 successfully. But when I try to execute engine = pyttsx3.init() this piece of code. the error pops out OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (in fedora35)

At first, I have also tried to install python-espeak package. But I couldn't instal that. So, I installed these packages. But steel not working.

  1. pip install espeakng

  2. sudo dnf install libespeak.so.1

  3. pip install speake3

  4. pip3 install py-espeak-ng
