SpeechRecogniton module is too slow in python

Question

I was trying to use Speech Recognition for my Deep Learning Chatbot to get the input from the user. Actually my Speech-Recognition function code is this:

def          


        

Answer 1

The duration parameter is deprecated now. Ref StackOverflow question.
Instead use phrase_time_limit or timeout.

Here is the block of code using phrase_time_limit:

import speech_recognition as sr
def myCommand():
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        audio = r.listen(source, phrase_time_limit = 5)  
    try:
        command = r.recognize_google(audio).lower()
        print("you said: " + command)
        
    except sr.UnknownValueError:
        print("Sorry, Cant understand, Please say again")
        command = myCommand()
    return command

This works perfectly fine.
