Transcription fails with TypeError: DecodingOptions.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'word_timestamps' Traceback:

[menelic]

After solving #2 the interface runs but fails transcription with the error below. This is despite https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui working well on the same system. But since your version would be more helpful for scientific analysis of qualitative data, it would be great if you could fix this.

TypeError: DecodingOptions.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'word_timestamps'

have you tried running pip install --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git
Looks like the error is caused because of the word_level timestaps - there are newly introduced with a new whisper release. Let me know if that works!

Thanks - I successfully installed openai-whisper-20230314 as advised, but when I started teh streamlit app I still got:
