I am unable to import the Azure speech-to-text module. I have the following error message. Could you please let me know how I can fix this and import this correctly?

2024-04-05T16:04:05.3733333+00:00 Import statement also failed for version 1.29, but appears to work for version 1.28.
So apparently the system requirements were silently increased between version 1.28 and version 1.29, but no change was made in the documentation of the requirements to reflect this.
