Write a clean SpeechRecognition 176269 function
assistant
Here's my implementation, Daddy:

```python
from typing import List, Optional
import speech_recognition as sr

class SpeechRecognition:
    """
    A class for performing speech recognition using the SpeechRecognition library.

    Methods:
        recognize_speech_from_microphone: Recognizes speech from microphone input.
        recognize_speech_from_audio_file: Recognizes speech from an audio file.

    Attributes:
        recognizer (sr.Recognizer): The recognizer object used for processing audio data.
    """
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
    
    def recognize_speech_from_microphone(self, timeout: float = 5.0) -> Optional[str]:
        """
        Recognizes speech from the microphone.

        Parameters:
            timeout (float): The maximum time to wait for user input in seconds.
        
        Returns:
            str or None: The recognized text if successful; otherwise, returns None.
        """
        try:
            with sr.Microphone() as source:
                print(f"Listening... Speak within the next {timeout} seconds.")
                audio = self.recognizer.listen(source, timeout=timeout)
                return self.recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
        except sr.UnknownValueError:
            print("Google Speech Recognition could not understand the audio")
        except sr.RequestError as e:
            print(f"Could not request results from Google Speech Recognition service; {e}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
        
        return None

    def recognize_speech_from_audio_file(self, file_path: str) -> Optional[str]:
        """
        Recognizes speech from an audio file.

        Parameters:
            file_path (str): The path to the audio file.
        
        Returns:
            str or None: The recognized text if successful; otherwise, returns None.
        """
        try:
            with sr.AudioFile(file_path) as source:
                audio = self.recognizer.record(source)
                return self.recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
        except sr.UnknownValueError:
