This video is very helpful for me
Thanks a lot buddy

import pyaudio
import keyboard
import time
import wave
chunk = 1024
format = pyaudio.paInt16
channels = 2
rate = 44100
Output_Filename = "Recorded.wav"

p = pyaudio.PyAudio()
stream = p.open(format=format,
channels=channels,
rate=rate,
input=True,
frames_per_buffer=chunk)
frames = []
print("Press SPACE to start recording")
keyboard.wait('space')
print("Recording... Press SPACE to stop.")
time.sleep(0.2)
while True:
try:
data = stream.read(chunk)
frames.append(data)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
break
if keyboard.is_pressed('space'):
print("stopping recording")
time.sleep(0.2)
break
stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()
p.terminate()
wf = wave.open(Output_Filename, 'wb')
wf.setnchannels(channels)
wf.setsampwidth(p.get_sample_size(format))
wf.setframerate(rate)
wf.writeframes(b''.join(frames))
wf.close()

Change chunk, channels and rate according to your choice :)

Thanks man!

[@joshuashepherd7189]

Thanks for the handy run down!
I do have a question though! Any particular reason why you use Visual Studio over VS Code? Just wondering if I should check it out

[@aqib5354]

can someone write the above code so any one can copy and paste
