The image file is outside the allowed working directory and appears to be an unrecognized format (possibly corrupted or not a valid JPEG). The transcription script likely needs to place images somewhere accessible, or the file itself has an issue.
Could you check whether the image downloaded correctly? The file at `/var/folders/pg/.../6390328cf8b882dcdc5fe1fdbd71cb20c14c2e6a.jpg` appears to not be a valid JPEG — the first bytes (`80 81`) don't match any standard image format.
