Installing Python SpeechRecognition package

Question

Can someone please advise me how to download and install speech_recognition?

I am currently using Python 2.7.12 on Windows 10.

Should I use the command prompt? If yes, can you please show me exactly what I should write in the commands.

I wrote pip install SpeechRecognition in the command prompt. But am getting this error:

'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'

Solution

You can try this

c:\python27\scripts\pip.exe install SpeechRecognition 

now if that doesn't work its probably that your pip is broken you'll need to uninstall python and install it again.

You can also run this from cmd: (for those getting an error with the above dir..)

 python -m pip install SpeechRecognition

It hope it will work
