FLAC conversion utility not available

[Lvjinhong]

Steps to reproduce

1. (How do you make the issue happen? Does it happen every time you try it?)
2. (Make sure to go into as much detail as needed to reproduce the issue. Posting your code here can help us resolve the problem much faster!)
3. (If there are any files, like audio recordings, don't forget to include them.)

Expected behaviour

(What did you expect to happen?)

it can run normally.

Actual behaviour

Although I have installed the necessary libraries for speech recognition, such as PyAudio, PocketSphinx, and FLAC, and can run the FLAC utility in the command line, my program still cannot find the path to FLAC and displays the error message "OSError: FLAC conversion utility not available". (What happened instead? How is it different from what you expected?)

(If the library threw an exception, paste the full stack trace here).

System information

The issue was that, after the final debugging, I found that the problem was in the initialization file where the path to FLAC was searched for as "flac". However, for the Windows system, it should be "flac.exe". After changing the path to "flac.exe", the program can run normally.
