The program was working fine a few days ago, and it just stopped today. Not a single letter has been changed. One of my troubleshooting steps was to remove the file 'output1.mp3' and check if it will work that way, but it didn't. Another thing is that when it wasn't printing out the error, it would continue to play just this one sound file, whether or not it said the correct thing. Here's the latest error I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here's the code that I use:

The speech synthesizer is Amazon Polly. By the way, I was using PyCharm as an IDE and working on Windows 10. When I switch to my Linux machine the speech recognition part breaks.
UPDATE: I was tweaking the code a bit and managed to fix the pyaudio error, but I got another one in the process, this time it was about permissions. Here's the error log:
Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'output11.mp3'
UPDATE 2: I have been tikering about and I've found that the issue is only present on my Windows 10 machine, the program works fine on Linux.
