Error try to install azure-cognitiveservices-speech==1.13.0 in python environment

Question

I have a problem when I try to install azure-cognitiveservices-speech on my Python environment

When I run the command:

pip install azure-cognitiveservices-speech==1.13.0

The next message is shown:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement azure-cognitiveservices-speech==1.13.0 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for azure-cognitiveservices-speech==1.13.0

My Python version is 64-bit:

python -c "import struct; print(struct.calcsize('P')*8)"
64

And I updated the pip version to 20.2.4

Do I need to install some pre-requirement?

Answer 1

Ah !

Currently the SPEECH SDK is supported in Python 3.5 to 3.8, hence the error. ( & 64 bit)

Reference :

You could refer the above article for the other requirements to run the SDK.

You could download Python Specific version from https://www.python.org/downloads/
