This question is related to python speech-recognition

The answer is


from @Zzmilanzz's answer I used

try: #python3
    from urllib.request import urlopen
except: #python2
    from urllib2 import urlopen

You can do that using Python 2.

  1. Remove request
  2. Make that line: from urllib2 import urlopen

You cannot have request in Python 2, you need to have Python 3 or above.
