Hi,

I am using the whisper transcriber for the microphone component, however, now when I run I get this error “Transcriber with engine name ‘whisper’ not found”.

This is because of changing computers, I have tried installing the plugins and packages, but still the same error.

The error is here:

1.0204 WARNING Monitor specification not found. Creating a temporary one…

Hi @David_Maitland,

Which version of PsychoPy are you using?

Thanks,

Hi Kimberley,

The version I am using is the latest one. I installed Psychopy Whisper via the pip install and then I installed --upgrade hugging face_hub, as these were errors psychopy gave me when trying to run the script. Doing this allowed the script to run, however, it crashes when starting the first routine. If I was to untick the transcription audio within the microphone component then the programme works without a problem.

Thanks,
David
