This is a common network issue when downloading the Faster-whisper model for the first time. Here are the solutions:

  1. Set a network proxy within the software:

    • Go to the menu: Translation Settings -> Speech Recognition Settings.
    • Find the "Network Proxy" field and enter a valid proxy address (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:10809).
  2. Use a dedicated download tool:

    • Manually download the model using a tool like huggingface-cli or git lfs.
    • The required model is typically Systran/faster-whisper-large-v3 or a similar variant. Place it in the cache directory (usually C:\Users\[YourUsername]\.cache\huggingface\hub).
  3. Try an alternative recognition method temporarily:

    • In the "Speech Recognition Channel" dropdown on the main interface, select another option like "openai-whisper(local)" or an online API (if you have credits) to proceed with your task while resolving the Faster-whisper download issue.

After trying one of these methods, restart the software and attempt the recognition again.
