PyAudio not found even after reinstall - Visual Studio Code-CodePudding

I'm trying to install PyAudio for a AI I want to make but I cant. It keeps saying its not found after I have installed it and uninstalled it many times. Last time I ran it this was the error message. I have tried many online forms but none of them helped.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\fares\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\speech_recognition\__init__.py", line 108, in get_pyaudio
    import pyaudio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyaudio'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    statement = takeCommand().lower()

First of all, please make sure you are not in a virtual environment.

Presuming that you are referring to this PyAudio, I was able to simply install it using standard pip3 install pyaudio, and then import pyaudio worked successfully on Linux.

However, it is possible that you are experiencing platform-specific setup issues on Windows, as pyaudio contains C extensions, so make sure you have PortAudio installed and the environment variable PORTAUDIO_PATH set. For more information, refer to the project's setup.py file.

Please make sure pyaudio is installed successfully. You could use pip show pyaudio in the terminal to query. Pyaudio cannot be simply installed by using pip pyaudio. You could download .whl file from this.
