GroqCloud Model List: https://console.groq.com/playground
We particularly recommend the whisper-large-v3 and whisper-large-v3-turbo models, which can convert audio to subtitles, and their effect is basically the same as the official OpenAI models.
Other models are mainly used for text translation, such as llama-3.2-11b-text-preview and llama-3.2-90b-text-preview. It is recommended to choose models with larger parameters (such as 90b) because the effect is usually better.

In the video translation software, find the speech recognition settings (usually in the menu bar) and select the OpenAI speech recognition API option.
Fill in the following information:
- API URL:
https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 - API Key: The key you created in the previous step

Use Other Models for Translation
Similarly, in the translation settings, select the OpenAI ChatGPT option, fill in https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 as the API address, enter your API key, and enter the name of the model you want to use in the text box. Do not select models with "vision" in the name, as these are vision models and may cause errors when used.
Troubleshooting: Connection Error
If the following error message appears, check whether your VPN tool is working properly and has correctly set up a system proxy or global proxy.
For example, some VPN software can automatically configure system proxies.
