Speech Note and the Error: “translation engine initialization has failed”

Support Snap/Flatpak

Hi,
I’ve got the reason by the Speech Note owner:

The problem is the lack of AVX in the CPU.

Using these codes in the terminal, you can know if AVX is supported in your CPU:

flatpak run net.mkiol.SpeechNote --verbose

or

lscpu | grep avx

You`ll get:
“avx not supported but ds engine needs it” or “mnt not available because cpu doesn’t have avx”, etc… When the CPU is too old.

However, the rest of the tasks work: speech to text, text to speech, to save a audio file with the voices. Only the offline translation fails.
