Im trying to make a speech recognition program but when i try to install pyaudio, i get an error.
I have looked through a range of other posts but generally dont fix my problem or not related to what im asking.
This is the error i get in the command line when i tried to install:

from what I can find from this the problem is something to do with portaudio perhaps being missing? and i still dont know how to fix that either. Thanks for any support.
if you are using python 3.7 try to downgrade it to 3.6
