Importing deepspeech error: Module not found

Question

I am trying to install DeepSearch library so that I can use the pretrained model to build the Speech to Text Project.

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-8-a1bcd52700aa> in <cell line: 1>()
----> 1 import deepspeech
      2 
      3 # Path to the pre-trained model files
      4 model_path = "/content/deepspeech-0.9.3-models.pbmm"
      5 scorer_path = "/content/deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer"  # Optional, for improved performance

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'deepspeech'

I have got the module not found error, and I tried using version also but it gives me the error of couldn't found the suitable version.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement deepspeech==0.9.3 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for deepspeech==0.9.3

I tried using deepspeech github directory when I tried to install the setupfile and requirements.txt. I have got the error:

 Collecting absl-py==0.9.0

So how to install the deepspeech library?

Answer 1

Latest release of deepsearch was 3 years back in December 2020

You are not able to install deepsearch because it only supports python <= 3.6 which is outdated. If you want to use, you can download older version of python separately and install deepsearch.
