OSError libespeak.so.1 cannot open shared object file No such file or directory

🎈 Using Streamlit
1

Hello,

Could anyone help me on solving this error:
OSError libespeak.so.1 cannot open shared object file No such file or directory

Have tried for weeks.

The problem I am facing and asked in this post is when I am trying to deploy my app which has a text-to-voice function that seems to be handed by pyttx3. That app works pretty well on my laptop locally. But when I tried to deploy it on Streamlit the error persists.

Best regards.

Hi @IPFrontier_USino, and welcome to our community! :raised_hands:

The error message you’re seeing OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory is suggesting that the deployment environment where your app is running doesn’t have the required library (libespeak) installed, which is needed for pyttsx3 to work. This library is likely present on your laptop which is why the app works locally :slight_smile:

Try to install it and let us know if that fixes the issue.

Best,
Charly
