We highly recommend the whisper-large-v3 and whisper-large-v3-turbo models. They can convert audio into subtitles, with results virtually identical to OpenAI's official models.
Other models are primarily used for text translation, such as llama-3.2-11b-text-preview and llama-3.2-90b-text-preview. It is generally recommended to choose models with larger parameters (e.g., 90b) for better performance.

Connect to Video Translation Software
In your video translation software, locate 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 steps.
- Available Models:
whisper-large-v3, whisper-large-v3-turbo, distil-whisper-large-v3-en(It's recommended to only use the first two, which support multiple languages; the last one only supports English).
Testing
Using Other Models for Translation
Similarly, select the OpenAI ChatGPT option in the translation settings, enter https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 as the API address, input your API key, and enter the name of the model you want to use in the text box. Do not select models that include "vision" in the name, as these are visual models and may cause errors.
Troubleshooting: Connection Error
If the following error message appears, check that your VPN is working properly and that you have correctly set up a system proxy or global proxy.
For example, some VPN software can automatically configure system proxies.
