Really impressed!the way you explained everything in a detailed manner

[@BrandonJacobson]

Thank you for the positive feedback.

Thank you so much. I was facing this ERROR: PyAudio-0.2.11-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. It turned out I have python 3.7.4 and I was installing the wrong version of pyaudio. The correct version for me: PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

This was a great help. Thank you so much. I was really stuck while doing a project with this.

[@BrandonJacobson]

I'm so glad to hear that!

I have error in the following line: with sr.Microphone() as source:
Could not find PyAudio; check installation
I have installed pyaudio in every possible way and it still won't run, is it because of the environment, I have python 3.9 and 3.11 in vs.
Has anyone encountered the same problem?

[@BrandonJacobson]

I'm assuming you tried this video all the way through and it still didn't work?

[@McKane_CL]

@@BrandonJacobson didn´t work. I have 3 versions of python installed. This is bad?

[@BrandonJacobson]

@@McKane_CL No, not necessarily. My video explains using the .whl file for Windows 64-bit, did you install the right .whl file?

[@McKane_CL]

@@BrandonJacobson yes.

Hi bro! Excellent content! I get this 2 errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Do you know what could be causing this? PyAudio and speechrecognition installed correctly.

My code:
from typing import Any, List, Tuple
import speech_recognition as sr
recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
micro = sr.Microphone()
def listen(recognizer, micro):
while True:
try:
with micro as source:
print('Listening...')
recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
recognizer.dynamic_energy_threshold = 3000
audio = recognizer.listen(source, timeout=5.0)
response = recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
print(response)
return response
except sr.WaitTimeoutError:
pass
except sr.UnknownValueError:
pass
except sr.RequestError:
print('Network error.')
while True:
listen(recognizer, micro)

[@BrandonJacobson]

Have you tried commenting out the adjust_for_ambient_noise to see if that fixes the problem? I'll try and look up the documentation to see if the library has changed the method names too.
