I have a problem that when I use SpeechRecognition library in python and when I want to put r.listen(source)in while loop my code drasticly slows down.

import speech_recognition as sr
import pyttsx3 as p
import random
from talk import *


r = sr.Recognizer()
engine = p.init()


    
with sr.Microphone() as source:
    while 0<1:
        text = r.listen(source)
        try:
            recognised_text = r.recognize_google(text)
            print(recognised_text)
            if (recognised_text =="hello" or recognised_text =="hi"):
                greeting()
        except sr.UnknownValueError:
            print("")
        except sr.RequestError as e:
            print("")

How exactly does it "slow down"? How do you define that? – go2nirvana Sep 16 '20 at 10:49
first two times loop works perfectly after those two when I say command it processes it for almost a minute and after that time I get the response. What should I do to make it as efficient as the first two attempts? – Grantas Šapkinas Sep 16 '20 at 10:53
I say hello and the program responds instantly after the second time the same, but after the third time it takes more than a minute to respond back @go2nirvana – Grantas Šapkinas Sep 16 '20 at 10:55
You can use offline speech recognition to get instant response, network based libraries have issues with latency – Nikolay Shmyrev Sep 17 '20 at 10:08
@NikolayShmyrev what kind of offline speech recognition library are you talking about? – Grantas Šapkinas Sep 17 '20 at 13:43
