Installing radiopy package from pip to record streaming audio

First trying installing the usual way with pip:

pip install radiopy

pip failed to find the package this way on my Ubuntu box. The following worked

pip install git+http://git.code.sf.net/p/radiopy/code

Testing radio py installation

List preset/available radio stations

The package comes with a list of pre-configured radio stations. List them as follows,

radio.py -l

Start listening to Loca FM and stop after 1 minute

radio.py -s 1 Loca FM

Start listening to Loca FM in 1 minute

radio.py -w 1 Loca FM

This command fires up Loca FM after 1 minute time has passed.

Listen to and record from Loca FM for 1 minute

radio.py -r loca2 -s 1 Loca FM

For help

radio.py -h

Installing SpeechRecognition package from PyPi

Install package

pip install SpeechRecognition

Testing installation

To test this package after installation, you must install pyaudio, which requires v19 (at the time of this writing) of the portaudio library.

Download and compile portaudio

Download portaudio and follow the instructions to build the source/install for your OS.

Upone successful installation, a "Successfully installed" installed message, or something to that effect, should be output to your terminal.

Install pyaudio using pip

pip install http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/packages/pyaudio-0.2.8.tar.gz

Test SpeechRecognition from the command line

N.B.: The testing script looks like it is web-based. Make sure you have internet connectivity!

python -m speech_recognition

Say something sweet to your mic! It will output to the screen what it recognizes!
