Having installed transformers and trying:
import transformers
import librosa
import soundfile as sf
import torch
from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC
from transformers import Wav2Vec2Tokenizer
#load model and tokenizer
tokenizer = Wav2Vec2Tokenizer.from\_pretrained(“facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h”)
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from\_pretrained(“facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h”)
I get:
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
3 import soundfile as sf
4 import torch
----\> 5 from transformers import Wav2Vec2ForCTC
6 from transformers import Wav2Vec2Tokenizer
7
ImportError: cannot import name ‘Wav2Vec2ForCTC’ from ‘transformers’ (c:\python\python37\lib\site-packages\transformers\__init_\_.py)
How I install/get Wav2Vec2ForCTC and Wav2Vec2Tokenizer ???

This probably means you don’t have the latest version. You should check your version of Transformers with
```auto
import transformers
print(transformers. __version__ )
```
and if you don’t see at least 4.3.0, you will need to upgrade your install.

I have the same issue with Windows 10.

I had the same issue. I upgraded the transformers version from 4.3.0 to 4.3.2 with
`pip install transformers==4.3.2`
and that worked for me. Also, upgrade your PyTorch to its latest version 1.7 with
`pip install torch==1.7`
that avoids error while loading pre-trained weights in the next step.

use " from transformers import \*" instead of “from transformers import Wav2Vec2Tokenizer, Wav2Vec2ForCTC”
