Unable to import speech services

I am going through the Microsoft Learn lesson regarding Speech Cognitive services located here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/transcribe-speech-input-text/5-exercise-convert-speech-from-audio-file?pivots=python

My issue is that I am unable to import azure.cognitiveservices.speech.

If I run this one line "import azure.cognitiveservices.speech as speechsdk" I get the error:

PS C:\Users\bianca\OneDrive\Documents\Azure\Projects\MicrosoftLearn> & "C:/Program Files/Python39/python.exe" c:/Users/bianc/OneDrive/Documents/Azure/Projects/MicrosoftLearn/.vscode/speechtotext.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\bianca\OneDrive\Documents\Azure\Projects\MicrosoftLearn\.vscode\speechtotext.py", line 1, in <module>
    import azure.cognitiveservices.speech as speechsdk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.cognitiveservices.speech'

I have tried installing cognitive speech services through CMD using “pip install azure-cognitiveservices-speech” and I get the error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement azure-cognitiveservices-speech (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for azure-cognitiveservices-speech

Just to see if another package would install, I tried C:\Program Files\Python39\Scripts>pip install azure-cognitiveservices-language-spellcheck which worked without issue.

I went to https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/releases/latest/all/python.html and the Speech SDK is not listed.

Python version 3.9 for win64 | Visual Studio Code 1.51.1 | Computer is Win10 64 bit

Currently the SPEECH SDK is supported in Python 3.5 to 3.8, hence the error (& 64 Bit)

OS Requirement

  • Windows: x64 and x86

It seems that azure-cognitiveservices-speech currently only supports python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.
