How do i do text to speech translations in python

Question

I want allow a user to input something and then whatever he inputs i change it to speech. I can only seem to do that with already written text not users input

Answer 1

This is a very basic example to convert a user input to speech.

import pyttsx3

text = input('Text to speech: ')

engine = pyttsx3.init()

engine.say(text)
engine.runAndWait()

Answer 4

Where do you get the error?

Answer 5

After inputing the text the compiler just runs for a while and stops. No sound is played
