Error invoking Python method we had written the code for text to speech in jupyter notebook then it is giving perfect output, but when we try to run this code in UiPath using python activity we are getting error i.e., Error invoking Python method 18.3.3+Branch.master.Sha.dad278851683d948236b522f6a0c8dd584803e65 Source: Invoke Python Method Message: Error invoking Python method Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is: System.InvalidOperationException: Error invoking Python method ----\> System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail]: PlaysoundException : Error 266 for command: open “C:\Users\Nalini\Documents\UiPath\Python\9603974randomtext.mp3” alias playsound\_0.8404515335860276 Unknown problem while loading the specified device driver.

Hi @Nalini , It’s showing some error with the device loading… Don’t know what exactly it is. Previously, when i tried to use tessaract OCR in my code, It asked me to involve the application exe file. May be you need to include the driver you want to use in the code itself. Here is my code which I’m using (Just for your reference) 🙂 try: from PIL import Image except ImportError: import Image import pytesseract pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract\_cmd = r"C:\Users\hamadasi\AppData\Local\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe" #filename = ‘D:\Python screenshot\Deepfieldglass.png’ def ocr\_core(filename = None): if filename is None: #filename = ‘D:\Python screenshot\Deepfieldglass.png’ return “file name is null” text = pytesseract.image\_to\_string(Image.open(filename)) # We’ll use Pillow’s Image class to open the image and pytesseract to detect the string in the image textfile = open(r"D:\UiPath files\Time sheets\Attachments\Deepfieldglass.txt",“w+”) textfile.write(text) #return text.encode(“utf-8”) return “Successful” #print(ocr\_core(filename)) ---

hi @HareeshMR , we installed play sound to get the audio in jupyter notebook . To run the same code in uipath do we need to install any other drivers Regards, Nalini. ---

> [@HareeshMR](#): > > pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract\_cmd = r"C:\Users\hamadasi\AppData\Local\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe" You need to include the driver application within the code as per my understanding. Try this including the exe file as above. @Nalini ---

Hi @Nalini, Can you try saving that to a file with an extention .mp3 or .mp4 … as per your requirement? Then try to open the file using Process.Open as in the screenshot… It will open with the default media player in your machine… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/1/6/1654d55dd30ae684cb2631347954a41816dd7a3f.png) I have given the windows media player exe there… but you need to give the path of the audio file you just saved. ---
