cant make model using the model vosk-model-en-us-daanzu-20200905-lgraph

I could previously use nerd-dictation with the smaller model included in the readme.rst but then I tried to use a larger model - vosk-model-en-us-daanzu-20200905-lgraph from here.

I downloaded it in the model directory and unzipped it, this resulted in a directory called vosk-model-en-us-daanzu-20200905-lgraph and on running ./nerd-dictation begin --vosk-model-dir=./model I got the following error :

ERROR (VoskAPI:Model():model.cc:122) Folder './model' does not contain model files. Make sure you specified the model path properly in Model constructor. If you are not sure about relative path, use absolute path specification.

Ahh, thanks but I don't use nerd-dictation anymore. Closing this.
