[rkent]

I also go this error, reverted to version 2.71 and the problem went away.

[nateshmbhat]

Does this error occur on the latest build ( v2.84 ) ?

[AEydi]

no, in all versions use comtypes

[pawaneshyadav]

I am getting same type of error . Please solve it soon.

L'erreur peut provenir du fait que vous avez nommé votre fichier Python pyttsx3.py, ce qui peut causer des conflits avec l'importation de la bibliothèque pyttsx3 dans votre fichier. Pour éviter ce genre de conflits, il est recommandé de ne pas nommer vos fichiers avec le même nom que les bibliothèques Python que vous utilisez. Pour résoudre ce problème, vous pouvez renommer votre fichier Python en utilisant un autre nom, puis exécuter à nouveau votre code. Cela devrait vous permettre d'initialiser la bibliothèque pyttsx3 sans erreurs.
