Hey everyone,

I was hoping to maybe get some pointers. I’m trying to implement speech recognition using python inside rhino\grasshopper, which in turn relies on IronPython (2.7.8) as its platform.

So far I’ve managed to install SpeechRecognition 3.8.1 but this depends on PyAudio which is making all the trouble.

The error  I’m getting is: Python was built with Visual Studio version 6, and extensions need to be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.

Do I need to get Visual Studio version 6 or is the some other compiler I can use, that will do the trick. (I’m on Windows 10 and have Visual Studio 2017)

Best
