Hello!
I tried openvino earlier today and it worked perfectly.
A few hours laters, i tried to transcript an other piece of audio and now the transcription is erratic and looks like it mixes all the languages.
I redownloaded the 2 zips and reinstalled it, uninstalled and reinstalled audacity, re-deleting openvino et re-copying it, rebooting my computer each time, tried to delete the “cache.json” file, nothing worked…
it’s super frustrating given it was perfectly working a few hours before, and all i did on my computer during this time was not audacity related!
i have no error message when running openVino.
here is a screenshot of one of my failed attempts:

(You can copy & paste that into windows explorer as path).
And then after removing it, try to run transcription again. If transcription works, then it seems that you’ve hit some bug that some folks have been reporting, but I’ve been unable to reproduce so far.
aaaaand it works perfectly again!
thank you so much!
i’ll update you if the bug produces again and if i find any kind of pattern.
The only think i can think about, is that yesterday after trying OpenVino for the first time (when it worked) i used Reaper, and reaper and audacity were open at the same time during a short period.
Otherwise it was just basic office tasks…
Thanks for confirming! Yes, this is the issue that I’ve had trouble reproducing. Basically, the first time a feature is used, the model is ‘compiled’ for that device (which can take a little bit of time), but then ‘cached’ as those .blob files into the folder. And so the ‘second’ time, the model is loaded from the ‘cached’ file – and in your (and a few others) case, it seems like something goes wrong prepping the model from cache, and so it produces garbage as output. This is why you need to keep deleting the folder… this prevents the model getting loaded from cache.
Thanks for sharing the .blob, let me see if I can do anything with that. BTW, can you share the details about which CPU model you’re using, along with specific version of Windows? Maybe it can help me find some machine to reproduce on.
Would you mind sharing what language of Windows installation you are using? It may have nothing to do with this, but it seems that alot of users who have reported this are using non-english versions.
