Troubleshooting

Fixing Python Path Errors (Windows)

If you encounter Python path errors when trying to use offline transcription, it usually means the app can't find your Python installation. Here are two solutions:

Option 1: Reinstall Python with PATH (Recommended)

  1. Download Python 3.8 or later for Windows from python.org
  2. Run the installer and check "Add Python to PATH" on the first screen (very important!)
  3. Complete the installation and restart Vibe Write

Option 2: Manually Add Python to Windows PATH

First, locate your Python installation path:

  1. Open Command Prompt (search for "cmd" in Start menu)
  2. Type where python and press Enter
  3. Copy the path shown (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe)
  4. Remove \python.exe from the end to get the installation directory

Then add Python to your PATH:

  1. Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl and press Enter
  2. Go to Advanced tab → Click Environment Variables
  3. Under System Variables, select Path → Click Edit
  4. Click New and add your Python installation path (the directory you found above)
  5. Click New again and add the Scripts folder (add \Scripts to your Python path)
  6. Click OK on all windows and restart your computer

Verify Installation: Open Command Prompt (search for "cmd" in Start menu) and type python --version to confirm Python is accessible. Once verified, close and restart Vibe Write for the changes to take effect.
