When NOT to use pyttsx3
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using pyttsx3 if you require a wide range of voice options or natural speech synthesis quality, as it relies on built-in operating system voices which may not meet all project requirements.
- Do not use pyttsx3 in projects where high-fidelity sound output is critical, such as professional audio applications, given its focus on ease of use rather than advanced speech functionality.
