label text is not updated but only last line updated the label in pyqt5

Question

I am making a project on pyqt5. now, its work is to click on one button "Click and Say" which call speech function in which label is updating and we say and it recognize it. the code is here.

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import urllib
import speech_recognition as sr
import time

def connected(host='http://google.com'):
    try:
        urllib.request.urlopen(host)
        return True
    except:
        return False

    Function = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_Function()
    ui.setupUi(Function)
    Function.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

This code listens and recognize the word. but the only problem is that all labels are not updating in speech function. Only the last one which contains "completed" is updated. The flow of program is click on button and then it calls speech function which is listening, recognizing with updation of labels. I have even add time.sleep(1) before every updation. Any help will be appreciated. I am new to PYqt5.

Tasks that consume a lot of time should not be executed in the GUI thread, instead you must execute it in another thread and send the information through signals.
