ECONNRESET error #336

Description

Describe the bug
Transcription of microphone recordings fails with ECONNRESET error when using local models (Whisper Large and Qwen 3 1.7b) with GPU acceleration. The error occurs intermittently — sometimes transcription completes successfully, sometimes it fails with the same error.

Full error message:

Transcription failed: Local Whisper failed: Error invoking remote method 'transcribe-local-whisper': Error: whisper-server request failed: read ECONNRESET

To Reproduce

  1. Open OpenWhispr
  2. Select Whisper Large as the transcription model and Qwen 3 1.7b as the text cleanup/punctuation model (GPU acceleration enabled for both)
  3. Record audio from microphone
  4. Stop recording and send it for transcription
  5. Transcription fails with the ECONNRESET error above

Note: the bug is intermittent — it does not happen on every attempt.

Expected behavior
The recorded audio should be transcribed successfully and the text output should be displayed.

Screenshots
N/A (text error message, see above)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • App version: 1.5.4
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080
  • Models used: Whisper Large (GPU) for transcription, Qwen 3 1.7b (GPU) for text cleanup/punctuation

Additional context

  • The error suggests the local whisper-server process drops the connection (ECONNRESET) before returning the transcription result.
  • Both models are used sequentially with GPU acceleration enabled.
