# models-linux

> Answer the models Linux apps take from the system, in the desktops desktop-linux runs, from stubs in the app's axx-models folder (in its `./` files, its home's .local/share): Tesseract's language data (a stub of the tesseract format, like `eng.traineddata`), which Tesseract reads from the folder its documented TESSDATA_PREFIX names, and the voice of the desktop's speech service, speech-dispatcher (a Piper voice stub: its `.onnx` and `.onnx.json`), which speaks the app's text with Piper (its `piper` program, on PATH) into the folder the speaker step hears. Axx gives the app's speech-dispatcher its user configuration, in the app's home (`.config/speech-dispatcher`): the voice is its only one, and no sound plays (its audio is ALSA's null device, which needs speech-dispatcher's audio plugins). Copy stubs before launching the app; restarting reloads them.

Add it to a project with `axx pack add models-linux`; it builds on [`models-core`](https://axx.nimbusxr.us/references/packs/models-core/) and [`desktop-linux`](https://axx.nimbusxr.us/references/packs/desktop-linux/) and [`app-core`](https://axx.nimbusxr.us/references/packs/app-core/), which comes with it.
