here's everything I tried to fix the issue

llama-assistant

brew install ffmpeg

pip install pywhispercpp

pip install whisper-cpp-python

pip install --global-option='build_ext' \
    --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' \
    --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' \
    pyaudio

python -m llama_assistant.main

pip install libwhisper
brew install libwhisper
pip uninstall llama-cpp-python -y
CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_METAL=on" pip install -U llama-cpp-python --no-cache-dir

xcode-select -p
pip install pyaudio
pip install git+https://github.com/vietanhdev/pywhispercpp.git
pip install llama-assistant

brew install portaudio

Hi @adhulipa , You can install pywhispercpp by this command to fix this problem.

git clone https://github.com/vietanhdev/pywhispercpp.git
cd pywhispercpp
pip install .

However, in the latest version on main, I replaced pywhispercpp with whispercpp.py. Please check the newest code to see if it helps. Thank you!
