No UI / way to set a language? #36

Open navid-zamani opened 1 year ago

navid-zamani commented 1 year ago

I just installed the APK, and when opening it, there is no UI and there is generally no way to set a language or anything.

I even downloaded the German language model manually. But where do I put it?

(My ultimate goal is to create my own voice personalized assistant, specifically just by using a offline TTS engine, a shell script (in Termux) and an adapter to search engines (which adds a bit of semantic information). But having offline voice recognition on Android in general is of course the best way to start.)

Would agree with @nshmyrev if you just want an assistant.

If you want a general stt engine, and or diy, open the installed vosk app from the drawer and scroll down to the model for your language

@nshmyrev: Thanks. Looks OK, even if the language models it lets one pick are way too small to be usable by me. And the interface seems incompatible with Termux and FlorisBoard. But “It’s something”. :D

@drew-sinha:
This isn’t the app? It has an icon, but when you open it, there is no UI.
Which one’s the app then? The -android-demo one? Because that too has nothing to scroll down to, as it only has three buttons “Recognize file”, “Recognize microphone” and “Pause“. (And what drawer? The notification area? The system settings?)

Sorry, I’m a bit lost.
