$ hear [1] 25534 abort hear

sveinbjornt commented 1 year ago

Well, that wasn't a very helpful initial issue. What macOS version? What hardware? Have you enabled Siri in Preferences/Settings? Does your computer have an audio input device? Does the issue persist after a restart? Can you run the command "hear -l"?

adisidev commented 1 year ago

Thank you for replying to the issue @sveinbjornt . I have the exact same issue. Here is some more information:

I'm on macOS Monterey (12.4) I have Siri enabled in Preferences/Settings and have "Enable type to Siri" unchecked under accessibility settings My computer has an audio input device (default mic), I tried it both with and without the -m flag. The issue indeed persists after a restart too. I can't run the "hear -i" command either, despite providing it an appropriate file.

The hear --help command works fine, and gives the following output.

❯ hear --help
hear version 0.2 by Sveinbjorn Thordarson

hear [-s] [-l lang] [-i file] [-f fmt] [-d]

Options:

    -s --supported          Print list of supported languages

    -l --language           Specify speech recognition language
    -i --input [file_path]  Specify audio file to process
    -f --format [fmt]       Specify audio file format
    -d --device             Only use on-device speech recognition
    -m --mode               Enable single-line output mode (mic only)

    -h --help               Prints help
    -v --version            Prints program name and version

For further details, see 'man hear'.

Finally, building from source succeeds, the tests fail and I have the same issues mentioned above when testing the compiled binary.

I'd be happy to jump on a Zoom call to help with debugging.

Thanks for the feedback. What about running "hear -l" (an ell, not an i)?

adisidev commented 1 year ago

No, hear -l with a provided language, hear -l en-US did not work either.

@sveinbjornt By any chance, were you able to recreate the issue? I'm wondering whether it might be a permissions issue somewhere? Or do you suspect it to be something else?

sveinbjornt commented 1 year ago

I have not been able to recreate this issue. I'm still on Monterey myself and everything works fine. If I had to guess, this is some kind of permissions issue.

adisidev commented 1 year ago

I added instructions on how to fix this in the README on #19

Thanks. This works on Terminal.app, but not on iTerm2.app.

sveinbjornt commented 1 year ago

Thanks. This works on Terminal.app, but not on iTerm2.app.

So, definitely some weird Apple permissions issue.

sunrisewestern commented 1 year ago

Agree. Forgetting to mention, I'm on macOS Ventura 13.1.

sveinbjornt commented 1 year ago

Yeah, everyone in this thread is on Ventura except me :). I have to be cautious on account of work.
