Speech recognition model stuck at download

Hi there folks, new user here. I’m on Windows 10 and Kdenlive Version 24.12.2.

When I create a new project and either put in the video or not and I try to setup speech recognition. I’m getting into downloading a model which recommends me to the turbo. Either if I select manual or recommended selection it doesn’t work, upon downloading it gets stuck at 25% and won’t move any further even upon long waiting session. Should i try using another speech model or is there any fix around it? Speech to text as “numba, numpy, openai-whisper, srt and torch” seemed to be working and were downloaded correctly. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the community.

Not sure about Windows but a similar issue has been adressed for Linux and MacOS I believe. Take a look here:

You may have to do a bit of digging in Windows but the gist might be clear to you.

I’m using Manjaro and I also have this issue, but on 24.12.3.

The model installation could be a bit “clunky”. I would abort the download and try with another model. Then try if Whisper Speech to Text is working.
