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

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 details:

Use Other Models for Translation
Similarly, in the translation settings, select the OpenAI ChatGPT option, enter https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 as the API address, input your API key, and type the model name you want to use in the text box. Do not select models with "vision" in their names, as these are vision models and may cause errors during use.
Troubleshooting: Connection Errors
If you encounter the following error message, check if your VPN tool is working properly and if system or global proxy settings are correctly configured.
For example, some VPN software can automatically configure the system proxy.
