Thanks for your time checking my post.

In my Django project I created an API which is supposed be to trigged in view function where it runs the most recent deepspeech version (DeepSpeech: v0.9.3-0).

Even though there is no problem with the backend and the request I sent from Insomnia is received from the server, and I have the latest TF version installed, I encounter the error below:

Below is the relevant part of my view function code where the error occurs:

class ModifyNarrativeAPIView(APIView):  
    permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated]

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):       
        voice_files = paths.saved_sound_files
        ear = Ear(DEEPSPEECH_MODEL_PATH, DEEPSPEECH_SCORER_PATH)
        for voice_file in voice_files:
            text = ear.convert_voice_to_text(voice_file)
            
            ...

Thanks again.
