title: speech recognition python code not working
body: <p>I am running the following code in Python 2.7 with pyAudio installed.</p>
  <pre><code>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(&quot;You said &quot; + r.recognize(audio))    # recognize speech using Google Speech Recognition
  except LookupError:                           # speech is unintelligible
      print(&quot;Could not understand audio&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>The output gives a blinking pointer. That's it.</p>
