Multiple Issues

[richaardvark]

Hello,

First of all, there were issues/conflicts when installing this script with regard to "numba" and it not being compatible with the latest version of Python (3.12.0) so I had to additionally manually install Python 3.11.6 and use that version explicitly for the virtual environment but that wasn't the biggest deal.

It worked the first few times when I provided my API key and had "use_api: true," set but was very, very slow at transcribing even one or two word phrases. I then tried switching this to false to see if it would be any better and it just got stuck on "transcribing" forever. I exited the script and switched "use_api:" back to true and then tried running it again but now I'm getting the following error:

Hi there,

I've recently returned to this project and we've made a couple changes. We updated the Whisper package which resolves the numba issue. We also changed from using pyautogui for typing to pynput. Do you still run into issues when you run the program from the latest commit?

Thanks!

I am having significant issues trying to install using python 3.12.

Attached is a log of all the errors I have encountered and remedial commands I have executed while installing the modules in requirements.txt in a py3.12 venv on fedora 38.

Am currently stuck on the last error...

Would very much appreciate if have any ideas.

many thx @savbell

Hi, apologies for the late response. Currently, the application only works on Python 3.11 and I am not planning on supporting any other versions. I would recommend downloading a compatible version of Python if you would like to run WhisperWriter.

Thanks,
Sav
