Getting error while using speech_recognition module in python.Error: TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

[aquibjaved]

I want to convert speech to text in real time using the module SpeechRecognition 3.4.6 I've installed everything and now I am trying a simple code from example, here's the code:

import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
    print("Say something!")
    audio = r.listen(source)


try:
    print("Sphinx thinks you said " + r.recognize_sphinx(audio))
except sr.UnknownValueError:
     print("Sphinx could not understand audio")
except sr.RequestError as e:
     print("Sphinx error; {0}".format(e)) `



I am getting error on line `audio=r.listen(sourc
  `import speech_recognition as sr
      r = sr.Recognizer()
      with sr.Microphone() as source:
          print("Say something!")
          audio = r.listen(source)
try:
    print("Sphinx thinks you said " + r.recognize_sphinx(audio))
except sr.UnknownValueError:
     print("Sphinx could not understand audio")
except sr.RequestError as e:
     print("Sphinx error; {0}".format(e)) 

I am getting error on line audio=r.listen(source)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sr.py", line 4, in <module>
audio = r.listen(source)                   # listen for the first    phrase and extract it into audio data

 buffer = source.stream.read(source.CHUNK)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/speech_recognition/__init__.py", line 139, in read
  return self.pyaudio_stream.read(size, exception_on_overflow = False)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyaudio.py", line 608, in read
 return pa.read_stream(self._stream, num_frames, exception_on_overflow)
 TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

How to fix this problem.

Hi @aquibjaved,

1. You don't seem to be using version 3.4.6 - the source code and line numbers are definitely off. Make sure the version is correct by running import speech_recognition as sr;print(sr.__version__) as a Python script. How was the library installed?
2. What is your PyAudio version? It seems to be out of date - you must have version 0.2.9 or later. Try checking this by running import pyaudio as p;print(p.__version__) as a Python script.

[aquibjaved]

Hi, thank you for the reply.
I've checked everything and actually there were few packages like libportaudio-dev was not installed.
It's working fine now.
thanks

Hi @swapnilkumar25,

You need PyAudio 0.2.11 or later. You have PyAudio 0.2.8. To fix this issue, upgrade your PyAudio installation to version 0.2.11 or later.

If you installed PyAudio using Pip, this should be doable with one command: pip install --upgrade pyaudio. If issues persist, please open a new issue.

[Uberi]

Hi @786adnan,

You haven't copied all of the code into your Jupyter notebook - it's missing everything after the with statement. Be sure to copy all of the code.

Also, please don't post on other people's issues - feel free to open a new one here!

Hi @atanudeyiitkgp ,
It seems like you didn't have libportaudio-dev not installed, I was also facing the same issue but installing the library helps me.

[atanudeyiitkgp]

Hi @aquibjaved

Thanks for your reply, but when I tried to install the package using "libportaudio-dev" then also I am getting error. Its not yet installed.

While I am using "pip install libportaudio-dev" then error is
" Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libportaudio-dev (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for libportaudio-dev"

While I am using "sudo apt-get install libportaudio-dev" then error is "sudo: apt-get: command not found"

Before that, I have also installed "portaudio" using "brew install portaudio". It is installed properly.

Please give me a solution.

- find your Python version by python --version mine is 3.7.3 for example - the easiest way to check either you have 64 or 32 Python just open it in the terminal: - find the appropriate .whl file from here <https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio>, for example mine is PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl, for 64 bit and for 32 bit use 32 bit .whl file and download it. - go to the folder where it is downloaded for example cd C:\Users\foobar\Downloads - install the .whl file with pip for example in my case: pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

1. Find your Python version by python --version mine is 3.7.3 for example
   the easiest way to check either you have 64 or 32 Python just open python in the terminal and on the first line it shows 64 or 32 bit.

2. Find the appropriate .whl file from here
   https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio, for example, mine is PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl, for 64 bit and 32-bit
   use 32-bit .whl file and download it.

3. Go to the folder where it is downloaded for example cd
   C:\Users\foobar\Downloads

install the .whl file with pip for example in my case:

pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Hi Akshar,

Please follow the below steps.

Step 1: pip install SpeechRecognition

Step 2: Code:
import speech_recognition as sr
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
# read the audio data from the default microphone
audio_data = r.record(source, duration=5)
print("Recognizing...")
# convert speech to text
text = r.recognize_google(audio_data)
print(text)

Later I only did the above things and it works for me. You can try it, I hope it will work for you too.

Thanks,
Atanu

Hey guys,
can you look into following:
#20
#71

[nsisong]

for me, r.recode(source, duration = 5)
works well but when i do
r.listen(source) it just hangs here

i have installed portaudio but still not working
