Python“语音识别”在 Mac m1 上不起作用

Question

Ok. so after the troubling installation of PyAudio,

PyAudio still isn't found! I did pip3 list just to show it's installed

What could the issue possibly be?

I am on Mac m1, I tried installing portaudio, I tried reinstalling pyaudio and speech_recognition This is also my code:

import speech_recognition as sr
#obtain audio from the microphone
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
    print("Say something!")
    audio = r.listen(source)
    print(r.recognize_google(audio))

Please help.

Answer 1

First, install homebrew on your Mac.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Copy this code and paste it in your terminal to download and install homebrew and then install PyAudio with homebrew.

brew install portaudio
sudo brew link portaudio
pip install pyaudio

Run these commands in the terminal and I guess now PyAudio will work.

I had to spend at least 3 days of my project trying to install PyAudio. This method worked for me.

On M1 you need to use the latest portaudio, see this issue's response .

brew uninstall portaudio
brew install portaudio --HEAD
cd $(brew --prefix portaudio)

# Links the headers to /usr/local/include
for f in $PWD/include/*.h; do ln -s $f /usr/local/include/${f##*/}; echo ${f##*/}; done

# Links the static libs to /usr/local/lib
for f in $PWD/lib/*.a; do ln -s $f /usr/local/lib/${f##*/}; echo ${f##*/}; done

# Links the dynamic libs to /usr/local/lib
for f in $PWD/lib/*.dylib; do ln -s $f /usr/local/lib/${f##*/}; echo ${f##*/}; done

pip3 install pyaudio

And then that just installs correctly!

Tested with PyAudio 0.2.11, portaudio ( eec7bb7 ), on macOs 11.2.3 with M1 processor.

This approach can be reused to link any library you install with Homebrew btw. It's a common issues with ffmpeg, openssl, and many other libs.
