SOTY - Speech-To-Text Recognition on Ubuntu Touch

Well, I've never got anything like that before, which is funny, because I use the same phone model and the same OS. Perharps you are using 24.04-2.x? If that is the case, it is not recommended, unless you need a few features that are not in 24.04-1.x, such as volte and proper Docker support, as this version is still under heavy development, and I don't have it yet and for this reason I could not even test it. But if you are willing to invest some time in it, I think we could find a way to get it running properly, but that might require a lot of testing on your side. I see a lot of people chose running bleeding edge, so 24.04.2 support might quickly become a requirement.

I installed both through OpenStore

Does in-application models installer functionality work for UT Translator or are you getting the same results as for SOTY?

About VOSK errors, could you share the contents of en directory?

UPD:
Seems like VoLTE has been rolled out for 24.04.1 on Nord N10 too.

I wanted the VoLTE support. OS Build Details show:
24.04-1.x

I'll delete the directory in the kl.soty directory for now (see below), and we can go from there. I'm happy to help out!

The installer for UT Translator works as expected. Models download and I get a progress bar.

About VOSK errors, could you share the contents of en directory?

From the previous instructions, I had downloaded an 'en' model. I moved that to 'en.bak', and that is still there. I'll remove it and see if that helps.

That's been my experience!

Ok, I removed the en.bak directory, uninstalled soty, removed kl.soty directory, then reinstalled soty, tapped gear icon, tapped "install English language model", received the same message as before (install in progress).

Afterwards, there is no kl.soty directory.

@undrwater
I just re-read my own message and realized the reason why it refuses to run from command line was because I provided wrong file paths in my instruction again. I'm sorry for for wasting your time on not working instructions again. Such an embarassment...
The correct way to run it from command line would be

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/click.ubuntu.com/kl.soty/current/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu"
/opt/click.ubuntu.com/kl.soty/current/kl.soty

And now I was able to reproduce it... It was all caused by that the directory kl.soty/models isn't properly creared. That's another shame on me. Thanks for finding it

Models installer has been fixed in new release, the update will appear soon on the OpenStore

Quite human, and I'm glad I could help!

@idonthatevests hi, I installed Soty 2025.12.07 version and it works perfectly with UT Translator (french to english).

Thank you for your work.

undrwater

Working here as well.

Note. The installed language (Englis) is highlighted green, but it would be better to also change to text to say "English language installed" or similar.

This is great!
