AttributeError: Could not find PyAudio; check installation...can't use speech Recognition


I'm trying to make a basic speech Recognition assistant. When I run the code, it tells me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Mo.haytham\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\speech_recognition\__init__.py", line 108, in get_pyaudio
    import pyaudio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyaudio'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise AttributeError("Could not find PyAudio; check installation")
AttributeError: Could not find PyAudio; check installation 

I tried to pip install pyaudio but then this error shows up:

Solution

  • In Terminal type

    pip install pipwin
    

    Then

    pipwin install pyaudio
