Try to reinstall espeak and also when installed make sure you update phonemizer library to latest one with.
pip install --upgrade phonemizer
@anurag12-webster Where exactly should I install espeak-ng? I will tell you about the project through the virtual environment.
It doesn't matter where you install espeak-ng. You just have to set environmental variables properly in order to use it. For Linux I set those two:
import os
os.environ["PHONEMIZER_ESPEAK_LIBRARY"] = "/home/alsenderovich/lib/libespeak-ng.so"
os.environ["ESPEAK_DATA_PATH"] = "/home/alsenderovich/share/espeak-ng-data"
There are some discussions on github about this, you can find some advice for Windows users there: https://github.com/bootphon/phonemizer/issues/117, https://github.com/rhasspy/piper/issues/73, https://github.com/bootphon/phonemizer/issues/44
I was having this issue, and decided to just use a cloud instance becase espeak works easier with linux, you may want to try WSL
