more than one language

[ippocratis]

So as naming is hardcoded I have to replace vosk model files inside vosk-catala folder.
What if I need a second language?
English and another?

Regarding the model path, you can replace the name here.

In order to have two languages I guess the easiest way is to create two services. Just duplicate the VoskRecognitionService and rename it to something else. You also need to register it to handle intents here (create a new service entry).
You'll need to switch everytime in your phone's preferences or as you're using K9nele I think it'll let you choose, right?

There is a way to get the language from the intent. I think it is the language of the keyboard but maybe it is just the language of the phone. If it were that of the keyboard you could use it to load one model or another.

Another alternative would be to show a list of available SpeechRecognizers in the SpeechActivity. You can pass a second parameter to SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer (SpeechActivity.java#L110) defining the exact recognizer service to use (otherwise it uses the one you set as default).

I hope it helps. I might one day do this myself but I have no time right now.

Thanks for pointing out
I think I'll gonna try dublicating VoskRecognitionService
kõnele lets you select on the popup voice input ''keyboard" yes
The thing is I have zero experience with android studio but I hope its not gonna be that hard
Thanks for your amazing app btw
Its the only reliable solution to have an open source speech to text service on a degoogled device atm

toggling gradle offline mode syncs but throws error

so i cant see how i can move forward

maybe open an issue on vosk git?
thanks

Mmm true. They moved it to their own maven repository but version 0.3.15 is no longer available and the API changed a bit.
I'll have a look see if I can update the repository to a state that builds.

Thanks

I pushed a new commit with the necessary changes and checked that it builds and works on Android 9. Let me know if you manage to build with your changes!

[ippocratis]

Great to here that. May I ask what OS and version you're running? Does it stay in the loading status if you for example click on the mic icon of your keyboard?

on a redmi note 9s with arrow os with microg (custom rom) on it (android11) and it behaves the same either by the anysoft keyboard mic or the localstt app it self

sounds relative but no idea what it may mean
