Hi
Hello for everyone. 
How are you? I hope you are fine.
Please, can you help me?
The issue
Before… Yes, I went to the settings and adjust whole necessary to use “speech to text” feature.
KDEnlive App Image distribution (seems) can’t download Whisper models when you hit the “Start recognition”. After some seconds, this show a message “No speech detected” and a button for “Show log”.
Log when try "start the recognition" (with "Large" model)

Testing the KDEnlive from Ubuntu Repositories
Then I downloaded the software from Ubuntu repositories. I went to the configure panel to check if the “speech to text” was set up. I clicked to “Check configuration” and it updaded the torch package

So when I hit the “Start recognition” button again, it worked how suppose should. I came back to App Image and now It also works, since you set to use the “Large” model, who is I download in repositorie format. The models are storaged in ~/.cache/whisper .
Coming back to App Image…
Still in App Image format, when you select other models, like “Small”, the same error back to happen again, it changing lightly the from the following line:

Culprit!
After all… Are there some solution to this issue? It is so weird, I thought that was the packages comes with the KDE Neon, but as soons as I the KDEnlive downloaded from Ubuntu repositories and the recognition worked, it seem that the App Image is the culprit.
- The almost same issue reported in KDEnlive’s subreddit.
- Other almost same issue reported in Ask Ubuntu, but only related with Whisper.
I tried run this command in terminal, but the "Start recognition" KDEnlive error kept the same.
pip install --upgrade certifi
sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh
export SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs
Workaround
A workaround is you download the model and paste in ~/.cache/whisper.
The link to the model are available here.
