Speech recognition on Raspberry Pi 2 with Python 3 (preparation)

There are a few modules you can use for converting speech input into a textual output.

One of the simplest one for the beginner is :  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition/

Here are the preparation steps that we use to try the module:

1. Plug a microphone into a USB Sound card dongle. Follow this instruction to configure it.
2. Install necessary software:
   1. sudo pip-3.2 install SpeechRecognition
   2. sudo apt-get install python3-pyaudio
   3. sudo apt-get install flac
3. Test-run the installation:
   1. python3 -m speech_recognition

You may get some errors, due to compatibility issues. Feel free to modify the sample codes installed to find the solution, and post your comments below.
