I installed espeak with homebrew.
Using the which espeak command in my terminal, I got this path : '/Users/username/homebrew/bin/espeak'
I added it to my path in python :
import os
os.environ['PATH'] += ':/Users/username/homebrew/bin/espeak'
I then called eSpeak with subprocess
from subprocess import call
call(["espeak", "-v", "mb-us1", "Hello, I am espeak"])
But I get this error :
Output exceeds the size limit. Open the full output data in a text editor

In the end, I need this to work in order to use the pyttsx3 packages to save audio as mp3 from text.
Any ideas how I can solve this ?
