Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to hide some of this info that pops up on my terminal/cmd line when I run my code.

Or how do I get rid of this info? My mic and speaker work so I don't know what this info is trying to tell me (My code works fine (except for the audio output/speaking part, but that's a whole other issue))

Thanks. 

Output:
Initializing B.A.X.T.E.R...
Good Morning Commander

This question is addressed on the Pypi page of module SpeechRecognition (search the word 'annoying' in the page).

I tried commenting out some of the things it said but it didn't help.
Is there a way for me to move those error messages to the very top, then have a big blank gap, and then have my messages display?
Or when I quit the program, have the error message display then?

I think the first step is to find which exact statement in your code triggers the unwanted output. Once you have found it, you could try to redirect stderr temporarily to capture this specific output.

Thanks.
