The whisper-large-v3 and whisper-large-v3-turbo models are especially recommended. They can convert audio to subtitles, with results similar to 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 (e.g., 90b), as they generally produce better results.

Connecting 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 step
• Available Models: whisper-large-v3, whisper-large-v3-turbo, distil-whisper-large-v3-en (It is recommended to only use the first two, which support multiple languages; the last one only supports English)

Testing

Using 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 model name you want to use in the text box. Do not select models with "vision" in their names; these are vision models and may cause errors when used.

Troubleshooting: Connection Errors

If you encounter the following error message, please check if your VPN is working correctly and if the system proxy or global proxy is correctly configured.

For example, some VPN software can automatically configure the system proxy.
