I will also demonstrate how to import modules pyttsx3, SpeechRecognition in this post along with PyAudio as mentioned in the title.
Firstly, ensure that python is installed by running the below command from the cmd prompt.
py -3 --version
Installation of module pyttsx3
Go to MS Visual Studio Code and open the terminal(powershell) to install module pyttsx3.
Later, I tried to install the package in another folder where I created a python project.
Once installed, use the below command to verify if it is installed.
pip list
Installation of ipykernel
While running the program, I also installed ipykernel as it was showing up some new error.
A powerful interactive Python shell and a Jupyter kernel to work with Python code in Jupyter notebooks and other interactive frontends.
Setting Up Environment variable as Python 3.9.1
I also got another error 'ModuleNotFoundError' while running.
The above problem could be the incorrect global environment variables. Once I choose Python 3.9.1 32-bit, it started working. Because the installed version of Python 3.9.1.
Installation of SpeechRecognition
Once I made text to speech work, I started with speech to text.
Installation of pyaudio
Installing pyaudio has some problem with pip commands, so I installed Anaconda individual edition to install the pyaudio with conda.
Installation of pyaudio using conda (Not Worked)
Though I installed Anaconda individual edition (from https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual), I couldn't install PyAudio. Later, I checked if the conda is installed in Windows by executing the below command in the cmd prompt.
So, I added the conda path to the system environment variables as depicted in the screenshot below.
Windows->View Advanced System Settings-> System Settings-> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path-> Edit (Edit Environment variables) ->New
Dont'forget to add C:\Users\<username>\Anaconda3\Library\bin to your path variable otherwise you will get a SSL error if this performed on a fresh install of Anaconda.
Now, close and re-open the MS Visual Studio Code and run 'conda install PyAudio' in Powershell terminal.
Neverthless, installing pyaudio using conda didn't help much because I got the below error while running the program. So again I checked the running python version in command prompt.
PIP & Python version
There might be a chance the pip can run on another python version which is not the version you will get while running Python.
python -V
py -V
pip -V
To see which versions are (correctly) installed on your system, run the below
py -0p >>>>>>>> It is is -'zero'p and not alphabet o
This clearly tells the pyaudio which is installed in anaconda has different python version (3.8.32), but the current python program runs on 3.9.
So, I planned to use pip instead of conda. So I tried the following commands, it worked.
Installation of pyaudio using pip (Worked)
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

Uninstallation of Anaconda Individual Edition
Later, I uninstalled Anaconda software as it wasn't used for pyaudio.
Fixing Microphone issue
At this point, microphone was not working, and it was only just listening but speech wasn't converted to text. Click here to see the code. The error was 'return pa.read.stream(self._stream, num_frames, exception_on_overflow)'
July - My Speech Assistant
So, I carefully looked into the microphone settings, and since bluetooth headphone wasn't chosen as input device, my voice wasn't audible. After the correction, 'July' (My Voice Assistant Name) was able to hear me. I felt bad that it couldn't hear my name(Shirley was converted to surely here) properly :-(
