Can whisper be run on a thread? | OpenAI | Page 1

I have a script that is listening to an mp3 stream. When I detect someone talking, I record the audio to a wav file then create a thread to transcribe the recorded audio and save to a db (So the listening part of the script can continue). calling model.transcribe in this thread seems to just halt forever. But When I ctrl+c my program it prints out the transcript and performs the rest of the threaded function saving it to the db.

frames = deque()
lock = threading.lock()
exit_event = threading.event()

def save_to_db(audio_path):
  msg_text = model.transcribe(audio_path)["text"]
  print(msg_text)
  # CODE TO SAVE TO DB

def listen_audio():
  while True:
    if exit_event.is_set():
        break
    data = b""
    for _ in range(3):
        t, _ = sock.recvfrom(1024)
        data += t

    lock.acquire()
    frames.append(data)
    lock.release()

def record_audio():
  while True:
      if exit_event.is_set():
          break
      lock.acquire()
      if len(frames) > 30:
          # get the first 5 frames
          data = b"".join(frames)
          frames.clear()
          lock.release()
      else:
          lock.release()
          continue

      # PROCESS AUDIO TO FIND volume
      if volume > THRESHOLD:
        # recordmaudio and save to file
        new_thread = threading.Thread(target=save_to_db, args=(filepath,))
        new_thread.start()


#SETUP FOR SOCKET CONNECTION
write_thread = threading.Thread(target=listen_audio)
write_thread.start()
read_thread = threading.Thread(target=record_audio)
read_thread.start()```

I have just put together a rough overview of what im doing and this code won't run

The write and read thread are joined in the custom signal handler i made that also sets exit_event
