I wish to have voice assistant in Hindi. Can engine.say() accept translated text? My code is below. It speaks English text, but not Hindi text. No error occurs, however no voice occurs. (My laptop sound=100%).
Can anyone help?
import pyttsx3
from translate import Translator
engine = pyttsx3.init()
translator= Translator(from_lang="english",to_lang="hindi")
translation = translator.translate("Today is Tuesday")
print(translation)
engine.say("My first code on text-to-speech")
engine.say(translation)
engine.runAndWait()
Your code ran fine after I installed its upstream dependencies
pip3 install translate pyttsx3
when I ran it got this error
OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so then I installed libespeak1 ... I am on Ubuntu so this command is
sudo apt-get install libespeak1
then below python code executed correctly and I could hear the translation
from translate import Translator
import pyttsx3
translator= Translator(from_lang="english",to_lang="hindi")
# translation = translator.translate("Today is Tuesday")
translation = translator.translate("Today is Tuesday and its the day before Wednesday")
engine = pyttsx3.init()
engine.setProperty("languages",'hi')
engine.say(translation)
engine.runAndWait()
I am trying to make a voice typing program in Python using pywinauto. First I recognized the speech using SpeechRecognition module and converted the recognized speech in string and then used the type_keys() method to type the string in notepad.
Here is the code:
from pywinauto import application
import time
import speech_recognition as sr
app = application.Application()
app.start("Notepad.exe")
def type_keys_in_notepad():
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print("Listening...")
r.pause_threshold = 1
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
audio = r.listen(source)
try:
print("Recognizing...")
content = r.recognize_google(audio, language="en-in")
print(content)
content_str = str(content)
app.Notepad.edit.type_keys(content_str)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
type_keys_in_notepad()
you need to add app.Notepad.edit.type_keys(content_str,with_spaces=True)
This will help to include white spaces
If you don't include with_spaces=True Space will be ignored
import speech_recognition as sr
rec = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone as source:
print('say something')
audio = rec.listen(source)
voice_data = rec.recognize_google(audio)
print(voice_data)
This is my code which is shown in plenty of tutorials that I watched online, I installed SpeechRecognizer and pyAudio (using whl file, not with pip, I don't know if it makes a difference).
When I try to run it it gives me an error about something in the pydevd.py and at the end gives me:
with sr.Microphone as source:
AttributeError: enter
How can I resolve this?
I got it to work by moving the statements not related to capturing the audio out of the with statement, this should work for you:
import speech_recognition as sr
rec = sr.Recognizer()
print('say something')
with sr.Microphone() as source:
audio = rec.listen(source)
voice_data = rec.recognize_google(audio)
print(voice_data)
I am trying to use the SpeechRecognition STT module for an AI i am coding and i'm also using Pyttsx but i get this error.
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyttsx/__init__.py", line 18, in <module>
from engine import Engine
ImportError: No module named 'engine'
Alot of people have tried to answer this problem, for all the people having this problem but the answers aren't explained or don't work!
Here's my code
import speech_recognition
import pyttsx
speech_engine = pyttsx.init('sapi5') # see http://pyttsx.readthedocs.org/en/latest/engine.html#pyttsx.init
speech_engine.setProperty('rate', 150)
def speak(text):
speech_engine.say(text)
speech_engine.runAndWait()
recognizer = speech_recognition.Recognizer()
def listen():
with speech_recognition.Microphone() as source:
recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
audio = recognizer.listen(source)
try:
return recognizer.recognize_sphinx(audio)
# or: return recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
except speech_recognition.UnknownValueError:
print("Could not understand audio")
except speech_recognition.RequestError as e:
print("Recog Error; {0}".format(e))
return ""
speak("Say something!")
speak("I heard you say " + listen())
if someone can explain and fix my problem that would be helpful
thank you!
Follow this link.
It has all the updates compatible with python 3.

I am running the following code in Python 2.7 with pyAudio installed.
import speech_recognition as sr
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source: # use the default microphone as the audio source
audio = r.listen(source) # listen for the first phrase and extract it into audio data
try:
print("You said " + r.recognize(audio)) # recognize speech using Google Speech Recognition
except LookupError: # speech is unintelligible
print("Could not understand audio")
The output gives a blinking pointer. That's it.
The possible reason could be that the recognizer_instance.energy_threshold property is probably set to a value that is too high to start off with. You should decrease this threshold, or call recognizer_instance.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration = 1). You can learn more about it at Speech Recognition
I have solved the same problem for me with the following (noise suppression),
The "listen" function has problems with environment noise. So the running code is only blinking waiting.
Use this ambient noise suppression/adjustment;
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration=5)

Easy Speech Recognition in Python with PyAudio and Pocketsphinx
try to add
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source,duration=1)
where r is recogniser instance, like this
import speech_recognition as sr
r=sr.Recognizer()
print(sr.Microphone.list_microphone_names())
with sr.Microphone() as source:
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source,duration=1)
# r.energy_threshold()
print("say anything : ")
audio= r.listen(source)
try:
text = r.recognize_google(audio)
print(text)
except:
print("sorry, could not recognise")
have you tried replacing
print("You said " + r.recognize(audio))
except LookupError:
print("Could not understand audio")
with
text = r.recognize_google(audio)
print("You said : {}".format(text))
text = r.recognize_google(audio)
except:
print("Sorry could not recognize your voice")
ensure pyaudio.h is installed by running the below command
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio
just try;
pip install sounddevice
it works.
check the input volume of your microphone. It is by default set to 0 in ubuntu (in my case). Since your program got stuck on the line audio = r.listen(source), which simply means that the microphone is not able to listen to any voice input. Hope this helps.
try this code:
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source=source)
audio = r.listen(source,timeout=3)
data = ''
try :
data = r.recognize_google(audio)
print(data)
except sr.UnknownValueError:
print(" Error")
except sr.RequestError as e:
print("Request Error")
or add timeout and r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source=source) to your code as above.please can anyone help me with this
In addition to Tushar's answer, I suggest trying a nicer external USB microphone. PyAudio can have issues with a simple built-in laptop microphone.
You may have to install these things first:
pip install pyaudio
pip install --upgrade pyaudio
pip install wheel
pip install google-api-python-client
sudo apt-get install flac
pip install monotonic
pip install SpeechRecognition
After that, refer the site (https://realpython.com/python-speech-recognition/)
it will clearly explain what you wanted.
Here I am attaching the code I've edited from that site. Since I am new it will not be perfect, but I've tried. This is to check weather the voice input is similar to the text I've given and also it will print what you said.

MY Problem was : the program is running without any error but its not showing any output
THIS IS THE CODE WITH PROBLEM:
import googletrans
import speech_recognition as sr
recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
translator = googletrans.Translator()
try:
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print('Speak Now')
voice= recognizer.listen(source)
text= recognizer.recognize_google(voice)
print(text)
except:
pass
translated = translator.translate(text, dest='es')
print(translated.text)
To Solve this problem :
basically this problem occurs by the background noise or ambient noise
SO just add only one line to your code which is :
recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)#recognizer is on line 4 from above code
########
The improved and Solved problem code:
########
import googletrans
import speech_recognition as sr
recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
translator = googletrans.Translator()
try:
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print('Speak Now')
recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)#(Problem Solved)
voice= recognizer.listen(source)
text= recognizer.recognize_google(voice)
print(text)
except:
pass
translated = translator.translate(text, dest='es')
print(translated.text)
I guess the problem is with the duration. If you set some duration to the speech recognition engine the problem will be resolved.
Try the following code:
import speech_recognition as sr
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
speak(sen)
print("listening...")
audio = r.record(source,duration=3)
try:
str=r.recognize_google(audio)
print(str)
except:
print("some error occurred!")
Put the Try and Except inside the indentation.
Here is my Working code:-
while True:
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print("Say Something")
audio=r.listen(source)
try:
print(r.recognize_google(audio),"\n")
except:
pass
Please set minimum threshold.
After running commend python -m speech_recognition. Set minimum energy threshold which it display.
Setting procedure: press Ctrl then click mouse Recognizer(). Now set energy threshold.
Install in your python prompt (Anaconda Prompt)
pip install pyaudio
pip install --upgrade pyaudio
pip install wheel
pip install google-api-python-client
pip install monotonic
pip install SpeechRecognition
Code:
import speech_recognition as sr
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print("listening...")
audio = r.record(source,duration=3)
try:
str=r.recognize_google(audio)
print(str)
except:
print("some error occurred!")
Try changing the mic index using:
with sr.Microphone(device_index = 0) as source:
To know your mic index use:
print((sr.Microphone.list_microphone_names()))
If this does not work use:
with sr.Microphone(device_index = 0) as source: # use the default microphone as the audio source
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration = 1)
audio = r.listen(source)
