1 month ago Hi, thanks for the bug report! I've just released a major rewrite of the application which removed dependency on the keyboard package. This should solve the issue.
Something else I noticed is that you are running the application using Python 3.10. I would recommend using Python 3.11, since that is the version the app was written for. I do not know if all the packages are compatible with Python 3.10, so you may run into more issues there.
Cheers, Sav
I tried to install whisper-writer on Ubuntu jammy
Requirements could only be satisfied by removing fixed version for "av" and "faster-whisper" in requirements.txt
Startup now fails
