I wrote this code using a library called "speech_recognition" wherein it uses the microphone to get what user speaks and print it out into the terminal.
This is what the code is:
import speech_recognition as sr
import webbrowser as wb
r1 = sr.Recognizer()
r2 = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print('Give command')
audio = r1.listen(source)
command = r2.recognize_google(audio)
print (command)
I would expect this to firstly print('Give command') followed by it listening to audio and printing out what it heard.
It does do that but this is the entire output I get when I say - "hello please help":

Give command
hello please help
The last 2 lines of the output are the only things I want to see.
If you are using speech_recog. library for something like a speech assistant, it would be better to not use the terminal to show o/p at all. Instead, make the output in speech. This makes the app better and gets rid of all of these garbage warnings
