I have an instance of ChromiumOS (R114) that I built myself and I was trying to get the on-device dictation to work and I attempted the following:
- Turned on on-device dictation in the ash features and made sure that the ENABLE_SPEECH_SERVICE build flag was set to true.
- In the ChromeOS instance I click on the dictation button on the bottom right hand side.
- As a result of step 2 the soda installer implementation code is executed and it tries to install soda and the language pack.
- However the system fails to download the SODA DLC and I get an error relying that.
In the system logs I see the following:
WARNING chrome[966:966]: [dlcservice_client.cc(131)] DLC install is getting queued for: libsoda-model-en-us
ERROR dlcservice: [dlc_manager.cc(106)] GetDlc(...): Domain=dbus, Code=org.chromium.DlcServiceInterface.INVALID_DLC, Message=Passed unsupported DLC=libsoda
ERROR dlcservice: [dlc_service.cc(128)] Failed to install DLC=libsoda
ERROR dlcservice: [dlc_service.cc(107)] [CoreServicesAlert<install>] Failed to install DLC=libsoda
When the dlc_manager executes the install function it fails at the GetDlc function because there is no manifest for Soda in "/opt/google/dlc/". The initialize code does not add it to the list of valid DLCs. I get that the DLC itself is closed source but is it not possible to download just the binary to use it for on-device dictation ?
