Know when the pyttsx3 engine stops talking - UsualCoder - Aug-29-2021
So I am having this issue, I recently discovered the pyttsx3 API and the documentation isn't really helping, the "isBusy" function doesn't seem to work very well, apparently it doesn't tell when the engine stops "talking". Does anyone have more experience with this API and can help me? Thank you.

If i test so do engine work as long the text given to it are,
if look at processes used so are there two these get shut down/cleaned when no more text.
Tell more what you have problem with.
Here code i did test with in a virtual environment.
import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
engine.say("I will speak this text" * 10)
print(engine.isBusy())
engine.runAndWait()
#--------------
import pyttsx3
import time
engine = pyttsx3.init()
words = ["here","are","some","test","words"]
engine.startLoop(False)
for w in words:
time.sleep(1)
engine.say(w)
engine.iterate()
print(w)
while engine.isBusy(): # wait until finished talking
time.sleep(.1)
engine.endLoop()
