Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ unable to use usb microphone in Python Speech Recognition

Viewed 18

I'm building a personal assistant using Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, and currently I use an audio jack microphone with an aux-usb convertor and it works fine with the arecord command, but when I run the python code it returns the following error

The card number for the usb input is 2 and following is the code used for test:

import speech_recognition as sr
from datetime import date


r = sr.Recognizer()
mic = sr.Microphone(device_index=2)

print("hello")

while True:
    with mic as source:
        audio = r.listen(source)
    words = r.recognize_google(audio)
    print(words)

Can anyone assist? Regards,
