I followed the most basic deepspeech installation steps but I keep getting this error. I also installed MSVC++ redistributables but that doesn’t help either. Any help would be appreciated.
One odd thing I noticed is that it uses python from my program files, not one from my current virtual environment. Then I tried to do python -m deepspeech using python from the venv but that fails with the same error and path too.
I investigated this using Dependency Walker and Process Monitor and managed to fix the issue by moving libdeepspeech.so from Lib/site-packages/deepspeech/lib/libdeepspeech.so to Lib/site-packages/deepspeech/libdeepspeech.so because that was the only place Python was looking for it in.
However, I’m sure this is not intended behaviour.
can you help me I am a beginner and encountering the same issue, I dont understand what you are saying so please if there is a way to fix this that I can Understand
Can you please tell me what else info I should provide. I am a beginner and I dont know much about this stuff, this is probably the most difficult thing I have done and that is the reason I am not able to give you required info

Stop this. You already have opened another thread, where we already have told you what you need to do.
Now you need to read guidelines and apply, and stop replying to other threads. If you don’t, we won’t be able to help you and we will be forced to ban you.
This issue is still present in DeepSpeech 0.9.3. I was able to solve the ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _impl: The specified module could not be found. issue by following the suggestion above i.e., by moving libdeepspeech.so from Lib/site-packages/deepspeech/lib/libdeepspeech.so to Lib/site-packages/deepspeech/libdeepspeech.so.
I was able to then successfully run the samples at quick start

This is not a fix, I’m still open to someone that reproduces the issue and can investigate why the lib/ directory is not being picked by the dynamic linker.
