The model exists, and it seems to be ready (however, I'd expect progress = 100 in this case but anyway), but for some reason, I can't use it.

Any clue on what this error message mean?

Ps. if I use the default model (not the customized one) it works

Solution

  • The status ready means it is ready for training, not ready for using.

    So you need to invoke the /train API to make it available for using and the progress will be 100 once it is available.

    To invoke the /train API: 

    $ curl -X POST -u "057e842a-ece8-4825-8199-e77053a64a9e":"xxx" \
"https://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/customizations/0ae89a90-955e-11e7-9e8b-53863e154a1c/train"

    Optional, you can specify a customization weight while training.

    Wait a while, you should get 

    $ curl -X GET -u "057e842a-ece8-4825-8199-e77053a64a9e":"xxx" "https://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/customizations/0ae89a90-955e-11e7-9e8b-53863e154a1c"
