Android Question SpeechToText Library works only in English

Solution

i'm not sure i follow which part(s) of the speech to text library you are having a problem with.
i use the voice recognition part. i have no problem using language models other than english.
in fact, i have used the german model.

the large models are not for use in a smartphone. the so-called small models are what you need.

there are 2 ways to get the library to work with languages other than english. the first simply
involve changing the name of whichever language model you want to use to "model.zip". that's
what the library is looking for. of course, that means moving the current "model.zip" (the english
model) somewhere else if you want to keep it.

what the library is looking for. of course, that means moving the current "model.zip" (the english
model) somewhere else if you want to keep it.

the second option can be a little tricky; you need to create a folder whose name will be the
same as that of the language model you are going to use. if you put that language model's
.zip archive in there and unzip it, you should be good to go. take a look at the attached image.
my setup is a modified version of how the library's author sets up his example, but you can get
the idea from the image. each language model sits in its own folder, and the name of the folder
reflects exactly the name of the language model's zip archive.

i would recommend 2 things: change the name of your german language model to "model.zip".
that's the easiest solution. the second recommendation would be to use android's built-in
text to speech and voice recognition models. vosk is fun, but i've found android's built-in engines to
be better.

Thank you!

I already tried renaming the models to model.zip, crashed anyway.

But your second hint helped me a lot, now I am using this:

SpeechRecognitionNoUI - Google Speech Recognition Without Popup

A better alternative for offline recognition is available here. With this, you can add speech recognition feature to your application without google speech recognition popup (check attached example), SpeechRecognitionNoUI Author: @Biswajit Version: 1.6 SpeechRecognitionNoUI Events...
www.b4x.com www.b4x.com

Since I do not need continuous recognithion this is fine with me.
