Not able to use .Microphone() from speech_recognition on Raspberry Pi 4

Post by /RaspberryPi »


I tried to install speech_recognition on my Raspberry pi 4. After only a few lines of code I've got a bunch of errors pop up. Everything should be installed properly. I even cleared my raspberry pi and reinstalled everything to make sure everything is properly downloaded. Sadly the error stayed the same.

This is my code: (I'm using python 3.11.2)

import speech_recognition as sr

​

with sr.Microphone() as source:

print("test")

​

Those are the errors (& output) (it's mostly the same over and over again):
