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
- Open OpenWhispr
- Select Whisper Large as the transcription model and Qwen 3 1.7b as the text cleanup/punctuation model (GPU acceleration enabled for both)
- Record audio from microphone
- Stop recording and send it for transcription
- 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.
