Screenshot situation in kdenlive-23.08.4-x86_64-A.AppImage
On Debian 12 Bookworm:
In both kdenlive-22.12.2-x86_64.AppImage and kdenlive-23.08.4-x86_64-A.AppImage
, the configuration procedure for voice recognition does not come to terms with
the presence of a Python virtual environment installed in the /home/user
directory.
In Kdenlive configuration, Voice recognition, as kdenlive does not immediately
"find" vosk and SRT, when you want to "install the missing dependencies", it
says :
Message----------------------
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation
or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking
your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

which the user of Debian 12 first gets to read when he wants to install a
non-Debian-packed python package.
But all goes well when the above instructions are followed and a virtual python
environment is set up in the /home/user directory.
I managed to get vosk to work - but not in any of the above two versions of
kdenlive.
I tend to think a procedure should be put in place that allows the user to
indicate the path up to his or her vosk and srt programmes.
Thank you very much for your attention and great work to make this a fantastic
program.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Kdenlive "Configuration", go to "Voice recognition", look for "vosk"
and "srt", they have not been found by the system
2. Press "check configuration", "vosk" and "srt", still not found,
3. Press "install missing dependencies", still no installation, instead message
as above
OBSERVED RESULT
vosk and srt are not found nor installed.
EXPECTED RESULT
vosk and srt should be found, or a way should be created for the user to
indicate the path up to his vosk and srt programmes.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
GNU-Linux Debian 12
