COMError... i think it is a permission issue?

import tts.sapi

directory= 'D:\Google Drive\python\'
voice = tts.sapi.Sapi()
voice.set_voice("IVONA 2 Joey")
voice.create_recording(directory+'hello.wav', "Hello")

I can write to this directory with other python scripts, but not sure why I can't do it here.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Google drive\python\test3.py", line 6, in

I think its because you are using backslashes. Your directory string should look like directory= 'D:/Google Drive/python/'. This is because Python uses backslashes in strings to specify special characters (like \n, \r, ect.) Forward slashes work just fine on windows.
