speech recognition python code not working

Question

I am running the following code in Python 2.7 with pyAudio installed.

import speech_recognition as sr
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:             


        

Answer 1

I have solved the same problem for me with the following (noise suppression), The "listen" function has problems with environment noise. So the running code is only blinking waiting.

Use this ambient noise suppression/adjustment; r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration=5)
