"No Module named '_portaudio': Unable to find solution

For my computer science coursework in 6th form, I am making a python program that uses voice recognition as an input. Through research, I have found a way to do so by using the libraries called 'SpeechRecognition', and then 'PyAudio' which SR is dependant on.
The code I am having trouble with is a section that allows the user to speak into a microphone and then the program recognizes the speech and converts it into text.
import speech_recognition as sr
import pyaudio
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print ("Say Something")
audio = r.listen(source)
print ("Audio Recieved")
text = r.recognize_google (audio)
print (text)
When I run the code in the python shell, I am getting the following response:
ImportError: No module named '_portaudio'
After searching the internet thoroughly, I have not been able to find the missing component to PyAudio, _portaudio, which PyAudio is dependant on.
How do I fix this issue? Is there a webpage where I can find the missing element? If so, what are the installation procedures?
python pip pyaudio portaudio

Yes, how did you install pyaudio, and what platform are you on? Best to usecondaon Windows and often on Unix, too, if you need C-library-based packages likepyaudio.

Yes, how did you install pyaudio, and what platform are you on? Best to usecondaon Windows and often on Unix, too, if you need C-library-based packages likepyaudio.
