What I want to do:

I want to convert my voice input into text output in my python program (using PyCharm IDE), I have successfully installed PyAudio but my program didn't function, then I realize I need PortAudio on my PC, but I don't have a clue how to install it,

What I tried:

I downloaded the pa_stable_v190700_20210406.tgz file, from the official portaudio website which also got a link to its GitHub, I am new to GitHub and I am very confused, can you guide me step by step on how to install PortAudio to my PC?

if all you are trying to do Is speech to text this simple code should work, first run pip install SpeechRecognition then this code should work

import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()

with sr.Microphone() as source:
    print("Listening...")
    audio = r.listen(source)

try:
    print("Recognizing...")
    text = r.recognize_google(audio)
    print("You said:", text)
except sr.UnknownValueError:
    print("Sorry, I could not understand your speech.")
except sr.RequestError as e:
    print("Sorry, an error occurred. {0}".format(e))
