vosk-android-demo VS vosk-api

Hello Calyx community! Ive been using the Calyx software for a few months now and love it, and have decided to try the impossible. I have a Grandmother who uses her phone for texting, calls, and facebook. unfortunately she relies on the google STT all the time, and if i switch her to Calyx, i dont want to put any google software on there. Ive found many "alternatives" but none that would directly suit her. The closest thing ive found is this VOSK fork which would work great for a power user, but unfortunately you have to switch the keyboard for it to work, instead of touching the microphone button on the keyboard (Like Kõnele) I would use Kõnele but that requires me to set up a dedicated server just for speech recognition, and the other projects ive seen (LocalTTS, Mozzila DeepSpeech) are all very confusing for me to understand, i can only imagine how my grandma would handle it.

Download And install; https://github.com/Felicis/vosk-android-demo Settings > System > Language & input > keyboards on-screen Keyboard > + manage On-screen Keyboards > Toggle on Vosk Demo > OK > OK enter a text field than select Vosk Demo Profit!

So I don't know if my issue comes from my lack of knowledge of discord.js/voice or VOSK. so I guess the most important thing I need to see is if I am creating a proper stream for the Vosk API to capture the audio. if I can figure out how to capture an audio stream I can probably import that in to vosk and figure out how to use vosk myself. but right now I can't even get close! Thank you in advance...Sorry if this isn't the right place for this

I remember a while ago checking out the issues with Vosk speech recognition (written in C). A handful of it's issues are related to segfaults and null pointers.

first, good initiative! thanks for sharing. i think you gotta be more diligent and careful with the problem statement.

checking the weather in Sofia, Bulgaria requires cloud, current information. it's not "random speech". ESP SR capability issues don't mean that you cannot process it locally.

the comment was on "voice processing" i.e. sending speech to the cloud, not sending a call request to get the weather information.

besides, local intent detection, beyond 400 commands, there are great local STT options, working better than most cloud STTs for "random speech"

I did a one-off text to speech tool for someone last year and had pretty good results with VOSK. One upside is that it works offline, although I imagine if you use TTS a lot you'll notice issues I didn't.

You can use vosk-api (https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api) to listen to your audio, transform it to text, and then post the text to GPT-3, then using the vector sdk, have your responses said by vector.

The set up script wants to download https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api/releases/download/v0.3.45/vosk-model-en-v0.3.45.zip, but this resource is not found. AFAICT all releases never contained a model file. Remedy: hardcode one model from https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models. I guessed and picked the one with the closest name, vosk-model-en-us-0.22.zip, just so I could continue.
