Hi, @Headhunterz.

What exactly are you trying to do? Could you please clarify a bit? And what error you are getting now? 

Answer 1

You'll have to install the pyaudio module in python. Before you can use pyaudio, you need to install SpeechRecognition. Execute the following two commands to installing these two modules:

pip install SpeechRecognition
pip install pyaudio

I've already installed the packages you mentioned above but am still facing that error 'speech_recognition' has no attribute listen
How can I handle this?

Hi @Jack, what is the name of your python file? Sometimes the file you are executing might be the name of a function and that throws an error.

insted of  sr.listen() write r.listen()

as u r initalize the  Recognizer() it has the function of listen()

Answer 3

Hi,

Listen attribute comes under the Recognizer method. So you need to call listen from the Recognizer method.

r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
    audio = r.listen(source)
