Answer 1

The reason that this error occurs is because you do not have ‘pyaudio’ installed on your computer. This is a dependency of ‘speech_recognition’ and therefore you must have it if you wish to use ‘speech_recognition’.

You can do this by typing this command into the command line:

pip3 install pyaudio

This requires you have pip set up on your computer.

This should resolve the error you are having.
