    command = f'edge-tts --voice "{voice}" --text "{text}" --write-media "MichealOutput.mp3"'
    os.system(command)
    pygame.init()
    pygame.mixer.init()
    
    try:
        pygame.mixer.music.load("MichealOutput.mp3")
        pygame.mixer.music.play()
        while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy():
            pygame.time.Clock().tick(10)

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

    finally:
        pygame.mixer.music.stop()
        pygame.mixer.quit()

def take_command():
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        print("Listening...")
        r.pause_threshold = 1
        audio = r.listen(source)

    try:
        print("Recognizing...")
        query = r.recognize_google(audio, language='en-us')
        print("hi")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return ""

    return query

Hi Mohammed,

I faced the same problem as you, and unfortunately, the reason was trivial. You need to modify the link in library "speech_recognition\recognizers\google.py"
from "http://www.google.com/speech-api/v2/recognize" to "https://www.google.com/speech-api/v2/recognize",
meaning changing "http" to "https".

I hope I was able to help you.

@MohamedSamer1 Thanks to report this.
Please try Hexer-7's workaround and tell us whether it works or not.

@MohamedSamer1 SpeechRecognition 3.10.4 was out!
Try this by pip install --upgrade SpeechRecognition
You can write Hexer-7's workaround like

-query = r.recognize_google(audio, language='en-us')
+query = r.recognize_google(audio, language='en-us', endpoint='https://www.google.com/speech-api/v2/recognize')

If WinError 10054 is not resolved in your environment, please feel free to reopen this issue.
