I'm trying to install pip install azure-cognitiveservices-speech and use it by this:
import azure.cognitiveservices.speech as speechsdk.

but it gives me error.

How I can solve this error?

Hello @Atif Altaf , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Make sure you are using version of Python from 3.7 or later. Also install packages of the same target architecture. For example, if you install the x64 redistributable package, install the x64 Python package. Here is the documentation you can refer to.

You can try the following steps:

Make sure that you have installed the Speech SDK for Python correctly.
pip show azure-cognitiveservices-speech

Check if the required DLL file is present in the correct location. The DLL file should be located in the following directory.

Check your system's PATH environment variable.

Got the same issue today, did you manage to resolve this? Mine got Python 3.12.x, Speech service 1.37.x - can see the dll in the virtual environment Library, still same FileNotFound error you mentioned coming in.

Yes, I resolved it. The main issue is that your Python version is not 64-bit or 32-bit that your system has. So, if your system/machine/computer has 32 bit then install 32 bit python version or if your system/machine/computer has 64 bit then install 64 bit version.

Yes, I resolved it. Try to install the 64-bit or 32-bit Python version or any other library/software that is compatible with your system. Check the specifications of your system whether it is 64-bit or 32-bit then install python or any other software. Install 64-bit version on 64-bit system/machine/computer and 32-bit on 32-bit system/machine/computer.
