Does this project not support the macOS operating system?

I tried installing and running it on macOS but encountered the error: 'Please set the espeak library path for your platform.'

Upon reviewing the code, I see that it only allows setting the path for Windows or Linux.

if platform.system() == "Windows":
    EspeakWrapper.set_library(r"C:\Program Files\eSpeak NG\libespeak-ng.dll")
elif platform.system() == "Linux":
    EspeakWrapper.set_library("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libespeak-ng.so")
else:
    raise ValueError(f"Please set the espeak library path for your platform.")

Hello!
Thank you for reporting this issue! You're absolutely right - I missed adding macOS support in the espeak library path configuration.
For macOS, after installing espeak via brew install espeak, the library is typically located at:

/opt/homebrew/lib/libespeak-ng.dylib (for Apple Silicon Macs)
/usr/local/lib/libespeak-ng.dylib (for Intel Macs)

Quick fix:
You can modify the code in vieneutts.py to add macOS support:

if platform.system() == "Windows":
    EspeakWrapper.set_library(r"C:\Program Files\eSpeak NG\libespeak-ng.dll")
elif platform.system() == "Linux":
    EspeakWrapper.set_library("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libespeak-ng.so")
elif platform.system() == "Darwin":  # macOS
    # Try Apple Silicon path first, then Intel path
    if os.path.exists("/opt/homebrew/lib/libespeak-ng.dylib"):
        EspeakWrapper.set_library("/opt/homebrew/lib/libespeak-ng.dylib")
    elif os.path.exists("/usr/local/lib/libespeak-ng.dylib"):
        EspeakWrapper.set_library("/usr/local/lib/libespeak-ng.dylib")
    else:
        raise ValueError("Could not find libespeak-ng.dylib. Please install via: brew install espeak")
else:
    raise ValueError(f"Please set the espeak library path for your platform.")

I'll push this fix to the GitHub repository shortly. Thanks for catching this! 🙏

If you still encounter issues after this fix, you can check your exact library path by running: brew info espeak
