These are the steps to test deepspeech 0.4.1 on Linux Ubuntu 18.04:
Install libsox and fake it as libsox2:
$ sudo apt-get install libsox-dev $ ln -s libsox.so.3.0.0 libsox.so.2
Record your voice:
$ rec -c 1 -r 16000 -b 16 recording.wav
Alternatively download the audio from google translator and convert to wav 16bit 16khz mono:
$ ffmpeg -i the_quick_fox_jump_over_the_lazy_dogs.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 recording.wav
Test it:
$ ./deepspeech --model ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/output_graph.pbmm --alphabet ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/alphabet.txt --lm ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/lm.binary --trie ../deepspeech-0.4.1-models/models/trie --audio recording.wav TensorFlow: v1.12.0-10-ge232881 DeepSpeech: v0.4.1-0-g0e40db6 the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog
