Hi, I need help!! I use this apps to transcribe my work and almost all recording that I tried to transcribe in Indonesia stopped in the middle like this. What should I do??? I just updated it but there is no improvement.

Would it be possible to share this audio with me so I can test it out (or any other audio that has the same problem)?

Also in the meantime, I think you might need to restart the app, as it looks like it's still running the older version and not the latest.

I'm sorry I cannot share the audio, these all are confidential.

I tried to restart the app and it works wonder for 1 recording only. The next transcription result looks like the picture I sent you above. What should I do?

I also tried to trim the audio to small parts, but the result is the same.

I found https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/112 and https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/192, which seem to be related to this issue.

Could you try transcribing with different settings (different model size/selecting 'Indonesian' rather than Detect Language)? Do you still get the same results?

sovvvv commented 8 months ago

I read those issues too but I cannot find the setting they mentioned. I don't know what to do.

Yes, I've tried to use different model size and select Indonesian, the result is not the same, but the accuracy is far from the successful one. The first transcription after I update the apps was wonderful and accurate, but now the transcription always repeat the same sentences.

Hello, Chidi

I am having the same problem

I am using the application purchased from the App Store. My operating system is 13.6.4

The application worked perfectly, but a few weeks ago it started transcribing the audios well, but when it reached a certain point it went into loop mode repeating the same text until the end.

What solution do you suggest?

Thanks a lot

I also have this issue. I'm using Macbook Air M1. My coworker is also using Buzz on his M2, but he doesn't have the same issue. I wonder if there's a ram issue or something?

Why does it happen?

I'm using a Macbook Pro M1 Max as well
