Your faster-whisper-medium model download is incomplete/corrupted — the required model.bin file is missing from C:/pyTrans/models/models--Systran--faster-whisper-medium.

The error Unable to open file 'model.bin' means the model folder exists but its core weight file was not fully downloaded (network interruption during auto-download is the usual cause, since these models come from huggingface.co which is unstable in many regions).

Fix (manual download):

  1. Delete the entire folder: C:/pyTrans/models/models--Systran--faster-whisper-medium

  2. Download all files from: https://huggingface.co/Systran/faster-whisper-medium/tree/main

  3. Create a new folder named exactly models--Systran--faster-whisper-medium under C:/pyTrans/models/, and place all downloaded files inside it (make sure model.bin and the tokenizer/config files are present and use their original names — browsers sometimes rename duplicates to model(2).bin, which must be renamed back).
  4. Retry the task with Clear Output checked.

Alternatives if download keeps failing:

  • Switch to a smaller model (e.g.

    small or base) in Advanced Options → ASR Settings → faster-whisper model list, or in the STT model selector.
  • Consider using Qwen-ASR(Built-in) or another channel whose model downloads more reliably for you.

Note on your settings: Your target is Khmer with Microsoft Translate (Free).

Khmer is a low-resource language; per the knowledge base, traditional channels (Microsoft/Google) may not properly support it and can error out.

For Khmer, use an AI LLM translation channel (e.g.

DeepSeek / OpenAI / Gemini) to avoid failures.
