Microphone and Screen Sharing transcription connections become unresponsive during a Parakeet session

Bug Report: Transcription Connection Becomes Unresponsive

Description:
During an active Parakeet session, transcription stopped working, and Parakeet repeatedly displayed connection warnings for both the microphone and screen-sharing transcription streams.

Error messages displayed:

[Microphone] The transcription connection looks unresponsive — trying to recover...
[Screen Sharing] The transcription connection looks unresponsive — trying to recover...

What happened:
Both microphone and screen-sharing transcription became unresponsive at approximately the same time. Parakeet attempted to recover the connections automatically, but transcription was interrupted.

Environment:

  • Device: Mac

  • OS: macOS

  • Parakeet desktop application

  • Microphone access enabled

  • Screen sharing/system audio being used

Expected behavior:
Microphone and screen-sharing audio should continue to be transcribed throughout the session without the transcription connection becoming unresponsive.

Actual behavior:
Both transcription connections became unresponsive, and Parakeet displayed recovery notifications.

Screenshot:
The attached screenshot clearly shows both the [Microphone] and [Screen Sharing] errors.

Additional notes:
Because both transcription streams reported the same connection issue simultaneously, this may be related to the transcription connection/service rather than an individual microphone input problem.

Impact: High - this can interrupt live transcription during calls/interviews when continuous transcription is required.
