I have a script that makes use of the Google speech recognition API as
follows:
import shlex
print " say something"
os.system('sox -r 16000 -t alsa default recording.flac silence 1 0.1 1% 1
1.5 1%')
cmd='wget -q -U "Mozilla/5.0" --post-file recording.flac
--header="Content-Type: audio/x-flac; rate=16000" -O - "
http://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize?lang=en-us&client=chromium";'
args = shlex.split(cmd)
output,error = subprocess.Popen(args,stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr=
subprocess.PIPE).communicate()
if not error:
a = eval(output)
#a = eval(open("data.txt").read())
confidence= a['hypotheses'][0]['confidence']
speech=a['hypotheses'][0]['utterance']
print "you said: ", speech, " with ",confidence,"confidence"
When I run that script by itself, it works fine.
When I insert the script into a larger program, I get the following error:
ERROR:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "inga.py", line 146, in <module>
confidence= a['hypotheses'][0]['confidence']
IndexError: list index out of range
If I understand it correctly, the traceback is telling me that there is no
position [0] in my list, but I don't understand how that can be true. I'm
not using the variable "confidence" anywhere else in the program.
Here's the larger script/program into which the offending bits were
inserted, up to the point of the error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
