No Internet Connection

[BrokenSpaghetti02]

I have installed the RealtimeSTT but when running a few of the test files, it gave this error:

RuntimeError: It looks like there is no internet connection and the repo could not be found in the cache (/Users/username/.cache/torch/hub)

I am a little bit confused, so can this be resolved?

Never encountered this error so far, I have no clue what happens here. faster_whisper would require an internet connection on first start to download the Whisper STT model. VAD components will want to load a model too (Silero and WebRTC) at first run.

If there are any other users experiencing this, please write into this issue. Sometimes installing in a virtual environment can solve some issues with the current venv/pip etc

i have written this code:

from RealtimeSTT import AudioToTextRecorder

with AudioToTextRecorder() as recorder:
    print(recorder.text())

then it returns this error:

Download of Silero VAD from torch hub failed. A fix for this is out of scope for me (or RealtimeSTT).

Try this minimalized test code in python which should fail too:

self.silero_vad_model, _ = torch.hub.load(
    repo_or_dir="snakers4/silero-vad",
    model="silero_vad",
    verbose=False,
    onnx=False
)

I don't know why exactly the download fails but it's an issue most probably for Silero Vad Repo (or maybe torch hub related, hard to say).

I found that I had ssl client certificate issue on python so giving the same error. Fixed by following this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53310545
