speech-recognition is too slow

Question

Too much time is spent for speech recognition. The recognition takes over 15 minutes to run.

How can I make the speech recognition faster? Here's my code:

def takeCommand():
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        print("Listening...")
        audio = r.listen(source)
    try:
        print("Recognizing...")
        query= r.recognize_google(audio,language= 'en-in')
        print(f"user said: {query}\n")
    except Exception as e:
        speak("Miss stark couldn't recognize what you said, speak once more.")
        print("Miss stark couldn't recognize what you said, speak once more.")
        query=None

    return query

You can use this code more frequently using these lines added to your.

  def takeCommand():
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        r.pause_threshold = 1
        r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
        print("Listening...")
        audio = r.listen(source)
    try:
        print("Recognizing...")
        query= r.recognize_google(audio,language= 'en-in')
        print(f"user said: {query}\n")
    except Exception as e:
        speak("Miss stark couldn't recognize what you said, speak once more.")
        print("Miss stark couldn't recognize what you said, speak once more.")
        return None
    return query

And if this not works check your internet connection speed, because SpeechRecognition works through internet connection.
