if bol :
text3 = bot.input.process_input_statement(text2)
text4 = bot.input.process_input_statement(text)
bot.learn_response(text3, text4)

It seems to me that you transfer your requests from a web server to chatterbot. This might converted your statmenet object into a string, If possible could you try to run your code stand alone before integrated into webserver

it works when i try to run it stand alone, but i need it to work on the server. How can i do that ?

If possible I'll will help you, if you could share your server code?

learn_response accepts statement object but you are passing strings, try to look feedback example once again for more information

I have to get the input from a Html page, so it will be a string, but how can i convert it into a statement object

Problem solved, added this
if bol :
text3 = bot.input.process_input_statement(text2)
text4 = bot.input.process_input_statement(text)
bot.learn_response(text3, text4)
