Vosk does not work with pyinstaller

[rodolphonetto]

Hi, I could make a script that works as a py file, but when I try to run pyinstaller to get an exe of the file I get that error, about the vosk lib, someone knows what can I do?

I dont know how to solve that, it is my first touch with python I'm kind lost

How did you package the exe binary exactly

Thank you for your time, I just installed pyinstaller with pip install pyinstaller and ran that command

pyinstaller --noconsole --debug=all chess.py

I did not done any extra config

Hello. I had the same problem. The solution that worked for me was to put all the files from site-packages\vosk folder to dist\app\vosk folder.

Thanks @RaisHibi, with that fix I cannot use onefile option rigth? But I will test It

For now I using cb_freeze

The same problem. I obtain this message when try to run exe file.

I think you can if you add site-packages\vosk folder as data in your .spec file

I did the copy/paste with the vosk folder and worked greate with pyinstaller thanks!!

But I tried to put it into datas on specs file and received the same error that @AlexUser97 received, someone knows what can we do?

[RaisHibi]

It worked in my case. Make sure you put the folder into datas correctly. Here's an example: datas = [('...\venv\Lib\site-packages\vosk', './vosk')] So you first mention the site-packages\vosk folder and then say where it is located in your application folder. Onefile option creates only .exe, but when you launch it, every file needed is copyed to your temp folder. And it looks the same as dist folder when you choose onedir option. So everything should work in both cases.

Thanks for your help these days @RaisHibi it worked fine now, thank you so much

Hello everyone, I have the same problem as @AlexUser97 . I tried to solve as wrote @RaisHibi , but nothing came of it, I assume that I did not specify the paths correctly in datas, can anyone help me?

[nshmyrev]

I have the same problem as @AlexUser97

Which problem exactly. What is the error message.

[ghost]

У меня та же проблема, что и у @ AlexUser97

Какая именно проблема. Что за сообщение об ошибке.

Such an error on startup

I had the same error and fixed by copying directory site-packages/vosk into distributed dir.

pyinstaller --noconsole --onefile --collect-all vosk test.py worked for me. None of the other methods worked sadly.
