Hi Kesavaraj,

I've come across a similar issue before, and here’s what I’ve found usually causes it:

The error message, “Language data import failed: Invalid or empty textproc out file!” suggests that something might be off with the file you're trying to upload. Here are a few things to check:

Empty or Incorrect Text File: This might sound basic, but make sure the file isn’t empty. Even a minor formatting issue can cause problems, so double-check that the file actually contains the expected text data for Malayalam.

File Encoding: For languages like Malayalam, the encoding can be crucial. If the text file isn’t saved in UTF-8, for example, it can throw errors during the import. Try re-saving it in UTF-8 and see if that helps.

File Path or Name: Sometimes, the issue can come down to a simple naming or path problem. Avoid using special characters in the file name or path, as they might interfere with the upload.

Platform Requirements: Different platforms have specific requirements for training data, especially for Speech-to-Text models. Double-check the documentation to make sure your file format matches what the system expects.

If all else fails, you could try re-uploading the file or looking into any documentation that might provide extra details. Let me know if this helps or if there’s anything specific you’re still stuck on!

File Encoding: file encoding is utf-8 only
File Path or Name: file name is proper
Empty or Incorrect Text File : seems to be correct

Not able to find what issue is.

additional info:
I have some 600 text files. right now I am concatenating contents of all the files and writing into a single text file.
Can you tell me how to upload multiple text files for plain text training in custom speech

Hi Kesavaraj,

If you're working with multiple text files for training, here’s an approach that might help:

Combine Files: While concatenating all text files into a single file might work, some platforms prefer each file to be uploaded individually or expect them to be in a particular directory structure. Check if the platform has documentation on bulk file imports for text data.

Use a Zipped Archive: Many custom Speech-to-Text training platforms allow you to upload multiple files by compressing them into a ZIP file. Place all 600 text files into a single ZIP archive, ensuring each file has a unique, clear name. Upload this ZIP file if the platform supports it—this could help it read each file as a separate training entry.

Text File Consistency: Double-check that each of the 600 files is properly formatted. Even a single file with incorrect formatting could potentially disrupt the whole batch, especially if the platform expects each file to follow a specific pattern or structure.

Dataset Requirements: Some platforms require paired text and audio data for training. If that’s the case here, verify that each text file corresponds to an audio file. If the platform requires metadata or specific naming conventions, apply them consistently across all files.

Check with a Small Batch: Try uploading a small subset of your text files (maybe 5-10 files) to see if it succeeds. This can help you identify if there’s a file-specific issue or if the problem is with the bulk import process.

If none of these methods work, it may help to reach out to support for the specific platform you’re using. They may have guidelines or limitations for bulk uploads or specific requirements for handling large numbers of files.
