Please build and install the PortAudio Python bindings first

Question

In my system, I've already installed pyaudio, but here the problem is with microphone functions

import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()

mic = sr.Microphone()

Here, The problem is with the third line of the above code mic=sr.Microphone()  . Ultimately, the terminal will give us this message

Please build and install the PortAudio Python bindings first.

Now, when I install "pip install PortAudio", the terminal says

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PortAudio (from versions: )No matching distribution found for PortAudio

So, I have pyaudio but I don't have PortAudio.Can anyone help me with this doubt?

Answer 1

Type the following code and uninstall your pyAudio

pip uninstall pyAudio

With your python, you just need to get pyAudio compatibility, in my case with 32 bit I have 3.7, but my problem arises when I try to install 64bit pyAudio on my 32bit python.

After uninstalling, Click on this link 

Then I downloaded 

PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl 

To install it, Go to the directory in cmd and type

pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

and This will solve your problem.
