Hi!
I wanted to use whisper-node and have this very simple code:

const transcript = await whisper('./output.wav', options);
console.log(transcript); // output: [ {start,end,speech} ]

The output.wav file exists and the recording in there is my voice record as it should be.

When whisper('./output.wav', options); is called i get the following:

[2026-02-15T09:58:32.920Z] [INFO] [main] Starting transcription {"filePath":"./output.wav","options":{"modelName":"base.en","whisperOptions":{"language":"auto","gen_file_txt":false,"gen_file_subtitle":false,"gen_file_vtt":false,"word_timestamps":false,"no_timestamps":false},"shellOptions":{"silent":true,"async":false}}} [2026-02-15T09:58:33.024Z] [INFO] [whisper] Creating whisper command {"filePath":"output.wav","modelName":"base.en","modelPath":null,"options":{"language":"auto","gen_file_txt":false,"gen_file_subtitle":false,"gen_file_vtt":false,"word_timestamps":false,"no_timestamps":false}} [2026-02-15T09:58:33.024Z] [INFO] [shell] Executing whisper shell command {"command":"./main -l auto -m \"/Users/erharddinhobl/pomp/node_modules/@lumen-labs-dev/whisper-node/lib/whisper.cpp/models/ggml-base.en.bin\" -f \"/Users/erharddinhobl/pomp/output.wav\"","options":{"silent":true,"async":false}} [2026-02-15T09:58:33.028Z] [INFO] [shell] Building whisper.cpp binary (non-Windows) [whisper-node] Building whisper.cpp (non-Windows)...
