[](https://pepy.tech/project/pyttsx4) [](https://pepy.tech/project/pyttsx4)

the code is mostly from pyttsx3.

only because the repo pyttsx3 does not update for years and some new feature i want is not here, i cloned this repo.

the changelog:

1. add memory support for sapi5

2. add memory support for espeak(espeak is not tested). eg:

` b = BytesIO() engine.save_to_file('i am Hello World', b) engine.runAndWait() `

3. fix VoiceAge key error

4. fix for sapi save_to_file when it run on machine without outputsream device.

5. fix save_to_file does not work on mac os ventura error. –3.0.6

6. add pitch support for sapi5(not tested yet). –3.0.8

7. fix nsss engine: Import super from objc to fix AttributeError by matt-oakes.

NOTE:

if save_to_file with BytesIO, there is no wav header in the BytesIO. the format of the bytes data is that 2-bytes = one sample.

if you want to add a header, the format of the data is: 1-channel. 2-bytes of sample width. 22050-framerate.

how to add a wav header in memory:https://github.com/Jiangshan00001/pyttsx4/issues/2

#TBD: add support for TTS.

# how to use:

install: ` pip install pyttsx4 `

use:

` import pyttsx4 engine = pyttsx4.init() `

the other usage is the same as the pyttsx3
