Problems configuring Kdenlive for SPEECH TO TEXT and OBJECT DETECTION

Help
1

Hello, I’m new to installing Kdenlive’s new features and it’s impossible for me to install the aforementioned plugins.

My problem starts with the fact that I don’t have the “python” tab in “Setting-configure kdenlive”.

Next, how do I install Python? Should I install with administrator privileges and with PATH?

And what would be the optimal configurations for the installation of the SPEECH TO TEXT and OBJECT DETECTION plugins?

Thank you for your help.

I forgot to mention my S.O. and Kdenlive Version
Windows 11 Pro Versión 24H2
Kdenlive 25.04.0

Please follow this steps: Plugins — Kdenlive Manual 25.08 documentation and make sure the PATH entry get automatically set with the installation.

The actions I carry out are:

For the installation of Python I’ve followed the python installation instructions which, by the way, boil down to:
-Download python from page Python.org
-Run the “python-3.13.3-amd64.exe” file

  • Selecting “Add python.exe to PATH”
  • Select “Install Now”.

For the installation of Kdenlive 25.04.0 PORTABLE:

  • I download the executable from the “Downloads - Kdenlive” page
  • Unzip the file with 7z
  • I run the “Kdenlive.exe” file
  • I select the “Setting” tab →Configure Kdenlive → Environment"
  • The Python tab is not there, the rest of the tabs are: MLT Environment, Default Folders,
    Default Apps, Mime type.
  • Exit the program.

To install the “Speech to text” plugin:
-I can’t get the installation. I need a step by step.

Please, can someone help me. I’ve been with Kdenlive for many years but I’ve always used the basics of Kdenlive, which is already a lot, and I would like to try the new functions of “Speech to text” and “Object detection”

Thank you.

Ooh. I see, I have to update the documentation.

With 25.04 there is no python tab in Setting → Configure Kdenlive → Environment anymore.

After Python is installed you can go direct to Settings → Configure Kdenlive → Plugins and click on install missing dependencies under VOSK and under Whisper as described here: Plugins — Kdenlive Manual 25.08 documentation.

Then all needed packages get installed. VOSK need a bit a special way to install the models, but it’s described how to do it.
