Not able to download VOSK model about dicio-android HOT 14 CLOSED

I released v0.3 which should at least fix the strange issues with Vosk downloading. Now if an error occurs while downloading the model, the app will just try again the next time the user asks for it, instead of loading indefinitely.

When testing for a few seconds in the past, I had a similar issue (download started, but stopped rather quickly, and would never finish), however with v0.3, there are no issues on that front anymore.

Having automatic certification renewal sounds like a better solution than to disabling https.

It is not about renewal, LetsEncrypt root certificate gets outdated and not all machines have the update:

You should see an Android notification telling you the process of the download, in theory. Do you see it? Which Android version are you on? Which languages are your phone and Dicio set to? Thank you for reporting

I can confirm this problem using a Lineage 16 (+microG) build from this month (based on AOSP 9). I don't see any progress status on a possible Download. I don't get any output on logcat and strace on dicio repeatedly outputs the following:

read(27, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)         = 8
epoll_pwait(33, [{EPOLLIN, {u32=38, u64=38}}], 16, -1, NULL, 8) = 1
recvfrom(38, "nysv\0\0\0\0f\275UgJ \1\0\1DK\0\0\0\0\0", 2400, MSG_DONTWAIT, NULL, NULL) = 24
recvfrom(38, 0x7fd3d30a68, 2400, MSG_DONTWAIT, NULL, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Try again)
write(27, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)        = 8
recvfrom(38, 0x7fd3d309b8, 2400, MSG_DONTWAIT, NULL, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Try again)
ioctl(12, BINDER_WRITE_READ, 0x7fd3d31028) = 0
getuid()

It seems to wait for some other process (I am not experienced with Android programming so I cannot tell whether this output makes any sense to you, 7824 is the PID of dicio):

We have https certificate problem due to letsencrypt, maybe a good idea is to disable certificate.

Btw, we are preparing unified UI for model download in Vosk. There is a list of available models already here:

https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models/model-list.json

should be ready soon.

I can confirm this is the issue, I could reproduce on an emulator:

w/DownloadManager: [2] Stop requested with status HTTP_DATA_ERROR: Chain validation failed

@nshmyrev Since I'm using Android's DownloadManager I don't think there is a way to disable certificate checking. Also, isn't that risky, since it would allow a man in the middle attack? I'm not so much into network security, so I'm not so sure about what I'm saying, but according to this SO if you provide me the CA certificate I can add it to the app so that even if the device does not have the correct certificates, the app itself does. I think this would not be risky, but then I don't know if you really can provide me the certificates to add to the app ;-).

That's great! I'll definitely integrate it in Dicio when it's ready

That particular problem probably is not about letsencrypt. It is more about wrong time set in emulator so that the certificate doesn't pass.

You are right, now I've fixed the date on the emulators and everything is working fine, hence I am back to not being able to reproduce.
I have improved the model downloading strategy anyway, will ship a new version soon.

When clicking the microphone icon, I get a toast that downloading VOSK model, but then it keeps on going round and round. And nothing ever happens. Tried it multiple times. Help Please

I'm able to reproduce this issue using v0.2 of the app on a OnePlus Nord running Android 11.

I see the download notification briefly but can't be sure if it ever completed or not. But the voice input clearly doesn't seem to be working. It just keeps on spinning even after multiple attempts.

The text input appears to be working, though.

I think I should take that back now. I just reinstalled the app and tried and the download seems to be successful and the voice input appears to be working (it doesn't quite seem to understand my English but that's a different issue).

from dicio-android.

The latest update fixed the issue. Works great now. Thanks for your swift response :)
