Weird repetition on transcript about whisper-timestamped HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm running into this as well - it's like Whisper is trying to impersonate Matthew McConaughey ("alright alright alright"....) ;)

Thanks for the suggestions; I'll try those as well.

If your audio is noisy, you might try using logmmse to clean it up. I'm trying this (although it caused a return of error #64) - I'll let you know how it works.

Whisper hallucinations are a real problem.

Have you tried with --accurate option?
Option --vad might also help.

The repetitions also depends a lot on which model is used.
I don't know which one you use, but for instance trying to combine results of large-v1 and large-v2 (and maybe medium) could be a way to get more accurate transcriptions.
