nateshmbhat/pyttsx3 — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a small Python library for offline text to speech. I want it to work without any internet connection and feel simple to use in a few lines of code. A user should be able to initialize an engine, speak a string out loud, and also use a one line helper for quick speaking.

It should let people choose from the voices already installed on their computer, change the speaking speed, adjust volume, stop playback, and save spoken text to an audio file. Please make it work on Windows, Mac, and Linux by using the speech engines those systems already provide when possible. On Linux, handle the common case where extra speech packages may be needed. On Mac, account for the usual setup issues people run into.

Please include a clean API, basic examples, and tests so it feels like a real reusable package. Keep the docs beginner friendly and show how to speak text, switch voices, change rate and volume, and save output to a file. Look up current platform docs online if you need to.
