Error with SpeechRecognition module - glittergirl - Aug-03-2020

I am following this tutorial to transcribe audio.

First, I installed all the modules and program before running python3 transcribe.py, and transcribe.py contains the following code.

import speech_recognition as sr
from os import path
from pydub import AudioSegment

# convert mp3 file to wav                                                       
sound = AudioSegment.from_mp3("transcript.mp3")
sound.export("transcript.wav", format="wav")


# transcribe audio file                                                         
AUDIO_FILE = "transcript.wav"

# use the audio file as the audio source                                        
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.AudioFile(AUDIO_FILE) as source:
        audio = r.record(source)  # read the entire audio file                  

        print("Transcription: " + r.recognize_google(audio))

When I run the python3 transcribe.py line in my terminal, I get the following error:

Error:]Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "transcribe.py", line 1, in <module>
    import speech_recognition as sr
ImportError: No module named speech_recognition

I checked whether SpeechRecognition was properly installed using pip3 list, and it shows up on nthe list.

I also checked the following:

Output:pip3 install --upgrade speechrecognition
Requirement already up-to-date: speechrecognition in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (3.8.1)

In any case, any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

At the beginning of the script, write

import sys
print(sys.executable)
print(sys.version_info)
print(sys.path)
sys.exit(0)

and post the output here.

Thank you so much for responding! Here's the output:

Output:/usr/local/bin/python3

RE: Error with SpeechRecognition module - Gribouillis - Aug-04-2020

Then why did pip3 install the package for python3.8 and not the python3.7 that you are using? You have two solutions, either you run the script with python3.8, either you install the package for python3.7 as well

First option

Output:
python3.8 myscript.py

Second option

Output:
python3 -m pip install speechrecognition
