String comparison doesn't give the intended result with recognized speech data

Question

ok, so I had this code to run speech recognition and gather an utterance. then wanted to check that with a word that is already saved in a database.

def recog():
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    print("Speak Now:")
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        audio_data = r.listen(source)
        try:
            print("recognizing")
            recog.result = str(r.recognize_wit(audio_data, key="XDAYDVOGVTRP652K6TAWOWQR73WHJY6S"))
            print(recog.result)
            return recog.result
        except sr.UnknownValueError:
            print('Recognition error')

I've used this code segment below to retrieve the word needed to compare with.

conn = sqlite3.connect('VIT.db')
c = conn.cursor()
post_ac = "select ans from ansc where id=" + str(i)
c.execute(post_ac)
conn.commit()
records = c.fetchone()
print(records)
print_c = ''+str(records)
conn.close()

Then I've used an if statement to check if they match

if print_c == recog():
    print("Correct")
else:
    print("Incorrect")

but this code always gives me "correct" as the answer. What have I done wrong and how can I improve my code? I'm fairly new to python and tkinter, so excuse my mistakes. p.s: fyi the data is retrieved successfully and correctly from the database and also from the recognition. I'm having the trouble with comparison is all.

Answer 1

after a while I kinda figured out what's wrong and I've changed the code. All this time it was comparing

'string'

instead of

string

conn = sqlite3.connect('VIT.db')
c = conn.cursor()    
post_ac = "select ans from ansc where id=" + str(i)
c.execute(post_ac)
records = c.fetchone()
print_c = str(records[0])
print(print_c)

so all I had to do was change print_c = ''+str(records) into print_c = str(records[0]) , so it will compare correctly in the if statement. Thanks for anyone tried to answer and hope this helps for anyone needed.
