Unable to change voice in pyttsx3

Question

I checked out a similar question but it still couldn't solve my issue. I wanted to put a female voice or just change the pitch of it. Few people suggested to change the voice id, further referring that 0 defined male voice while 1 defined female.

Although, Trying out both voice ids, I get a regular male voice only,

Is it possible to chance the pitch of the voice for all pc's, as somebody referred it to as a PC audio problem, but in other language voice recognitions my PC works with different gender voices perfectly.

I also need to give gaps between each word, as in the regular voice, it speaks so fast, that the user has chances of not understanding a thing. If aware on how do the same, please tell me.

This is a code snippet on what I'm trying to work on:

import pyttsx3 #pip install pyttsx

engine=pyttsx3.init('sapi5')
voices=engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice','voices[1].id')


def speak(text):
    engine.say(text)
    engine.runAndWait()

Answer 1

Try this code. I hope it works:

import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
for voice in voices:
    print(voice, voice.id)
    engine.setProperty('voice', voice.id)
    engine.say("Hello, world.")
    engine.runAndWait()
    engine.stop()

This should give you a list of voices.
