Certificate Verify Failed

[SLong97]

Apologies if this is not the appropriate place to ask but when trying to use Vosk I am running into the following error:

I was wondering if anyone could offer a solution to this problem I am facing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

update root ssl certificates or download model from website and use directly

[nshmyrev]

Same as #1015

Thank you so very much for the quick response.

Just in case anyone else runs into this same issue, this is how I obtained the relevant certificate:

• Run Internet Explorer as administrator
• Navigate to https://alphacephei.com/vosk/
• Click on lock icon by the search bar
• Select view certificates and then select install certificate

Does not work for me. I can't even launch Internet Explorer, and trying this in Edge there is no option to install the certificate.

What worked is downloading the model from here: https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models

and then defining it in the command like this:

vosk-transcriber -i .\audio-2023-07-23-12-14-03.mp3 -o test.txt -m E:\Downloads\vosk-model-en-us-0.22-lgraph
