When I try with other models: small-pt, small-en-us-0.15,en-us-0.22, works fine.

[nshmyrev]

I've just tried it and it works fine. Please try to download the file again, maybe it was corrupted.

I have 16GB Ram and I have redownloaded the model again, still doesn't work.

It should print more messages from the start

[MFRS]

I updated my previous comment.

Do you have 32-bit python by chance? What is the output of python script:

import platform
print(platform.architecture())

[MFRS]

import platform print(platform.architecture())

Does other big model work for you like https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models/vosk-model-de-0.21.zip ?

The vosk-model-en-us-0.22 works for me.

I am getting the same error as @MFRS when using vosk-model-de-tuda-0.6-900k as seen below. Python and the modules seem to be up to date. Am I missing something?

Simply use our model instead

I had the same problem as above today, your model fixed my problem. Thank kindly.

I had the same problem on windows, but only with the model vosk-model-pt-fb-v0.1.1-20220516_2113 even larger models I had no problem, is the one you sent because it is smaller less efficient than the original?

[VladislavMaksimov]

@nshmyrev I think I have the same issue with the Russian models on Windows x32. Tried to use all four models from the list but only the small model works. With other ones, I have similar outputs. Can I solve it somehow?

Big models require 16Gb of memory and won't fit x32. You can remove rescore and rnnlm folders from the model to make it smaller, probably it will load then.

Hello! I also stumbled upon this error with the german vosk-model-de-tuda-0.6-900k, and also saw that you recommended this model instead in another issue about the german model, but the thing is, that this model is in portuguese and not german! Where can I get the fixed one in german? My RAM is 16GB and I am on a 64bit system.

Hello! Thanks for your answer, but this model is a lot smaller and I would like to use a bigger one, since that one is not very good in recoginzing the sentence, I already tried it. Isn't it possible to use the bigger one? What's wrong with the bigger one? Best regards, Daniel

[nshmyrev]

What's wrong with the bigger one?

Windows does not support such big model files. You can try it in colab (Linux).
