Hi,

Try to uninstall your pyttsx3 module form your system and again reinstall it using the below command.

$ pip install pyttsx3

If you will get the same error, then try to install the below module.

$ pip install pypiwin32

Done but getting the same problem

Hi, @Mudit,

Did you try Niroj's solution which is given-below!! Try doing that once!

Hello, @Mudit,

You can copy the DLL pywintypes27.dll in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32.
I added it to win32/lib.

Made a check for package pypiwin32, which it is actually installed. 

C:\Users\JKN010\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\pywin32_system32

Then copy the files 'pythoncom38.dll' and 'pywintypes38.dll' over to:

C:\Users\JKN010\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\win32\lib 

Hope it helps!

Hello,

You can try this:

pip install pyttsx3

or,You can try this:

pip install pypiwin32

With pywin32 build 219 installed via conda on python 2.7, importing pythoncom fails with

ImportError: No system module 'pywintypes' (pywintypes27.dll)

The issue is that the library pywintypes27.dll is stored not in

pathtovenv\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes27.dll

but in

pathtovenv\lib\site-packages\win32\pywintypes27.dll

Adding in the file win32\lib\pywintypes.py the elif part herebelow solves the issue

python:

if found is None:
    # Not in the Python directory?  Maybe we were installed via
    # easy_install...
    if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), filename)):
        found = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), filename)
    elif os.path.isfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "..", filename)):
        found = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "..", filename)

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
