In using pyttsx3 to produce mp3 audio files, it seems there's a problem that the mp3 file is not recognizable by pydub. pyttsx3: text to speech package pydub: audio handling package The error message says a lot of "Header missing". The code is below. What went wrong, and how can it be corrected? import pyttsx3 engine = pyttsx3.init("sapi5") engine.setProperty('rate', 130) # number higher the faster voices = engine.getProperty("voices") engine.setProperty("voice", voices[0].id) texts = "a quick sentence into mp3" engine.save_to_file(texts, "C:\\TEM\\temp audio.mp3") engine.runAndWait() # the produced file plays no problem by media player in Windows. # here to read the mp3 audio file produced from pydub import AudioSegment sound1 = AudioSegment.from_file(r"C:\\TEM\\temp audio.mp3", format="mp3") # error pops here Error message
