Hi, thanks for the great plugin, but unfortunately i cannot able to run it.

Whisper whisper = Whisper(whisperLib: "libwhisper.so");
Version v = await w.getVersion();
print(v?.rawData);

i want to know is there any other setup or configuration needs to be done before calling whisper. i am getting error in above code

Invalid argument(s): Failed to load dynamic library 'libwhisper.so': dlopen failed: library "libwhisper.so" not found

also i am confused at libwhisper.so file where to place or it will created automatically ?

Hello,
I put the file as an asset file in a folder "assets".
Then I use this function to get the file :

Future<File> _getFileFromAssets(String path) async {
  Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
  String tempPath = tempDir.path;
  var filePath = "$tempPath/$path";
  var file = File(filePath);
  if (file.existsSync()) {
    return file;
  } else {
    final byteData = await rootBundle.load('assets/$path');
    final buffer = byteData.buffer;
    await file.create(recursive: true);
    return file.writeAsBytes(buffer.asUint8List(byteData.offsetInBytes, byteData.lengthInBytes));
  }
}

Here is how I init Whisper :

  initWhisper() async {
    String pathLibrary = (await _getFileFromAssets("libwhisper_android.so")).path;
    whisper = Whisper(whisperLib: pathLibrary);
  }
