AssertionError: No text to Speech

When running a program that relies on text-to-speech functionality, you may encounter an AssertionError with the message "No text to Speech". This error occurs when the program attempts to access text-to-speech functionality without any text to be spoken.

Causes

• Lack of input text: The program may be attempting to speak without any input text being given.
• Use of unsupported data type: The data type used as input may not be supported by the text-to-speech engine being used.

Solutions

• Verify input: Ensure that input text is being provided to the text-to-speech engine before attempting to access it.
• Use supported data types: Check the documentation for the text-to-speech engine being used to ensure that the data type being provided as input is supported.

Example

import pyttsx3

engine = pyttsx3.init()

text = input("Enter text to speak: ")

if text:
    engine.say(text)
    engine.runAndWait()
else:
    raise AssertionError("No text to Speech")

In this example, the program prompts the user to enter text to be spoken. If the user provides input text, it is spoken using the pyttsx3 library. However, if no input text is provided, an AssertionError is raised with the message "No text to Speech".
