Providers & BYOK 供應商與自帶金鑰

Connect Groq, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, or NVIDIA NIM with your own API key. Your key never leaves your machine. 用自己的 API Key 連接 Groq、OpenAI、Gemini、OpenRouter、NVIDIA NIM。Key 不會離開你的電腦。

TypeLate is bring-your-own-key (BYOK). There is no TypeLate cloud — your audio and text go straight from your machine to the provider you choose, using your own API key. Keys are stored locally with the OS keychain pattern.

TypeLate 採 自帶金鑰（BYOK） 設計。沒有 TypeLate 雲端 — 語音與文字直接從你的電腦送到你指定的供應商，用你自己的金鑰。金鑰以作業系統 keychain 模式儲存在本機。

Get an API key

  1. Open console.groq.com/keys and sign in (Google / GitHub OAuth supported).
  2. Click Create API Key, give it a name (e.g. typelate), and copy the key — it starts with gsk_.
  3. Groq doesn’t show the key again after you close the dialog. Paste it into TypeLate immediately.

Why Groq: fastest inference (the <3 seconds end-to-end claim relies on this) and a generous 28,800 sec/day free tier — about 8 hours of speech per day.

  1. 開啟 console.groq.com/keys 並登入（支援 Google / GitHub OAuth）。
  2. 點 Create API Key，命名（例如 typelate），複製金鑰 — 開頭是 gsk_。
  3. 關掉視窗後 Groq 不會再次顯示金鑰，請馬上貼到 TypeLate 內。

選 Groq 的理由：目前最快的推理速度（「3 秒內完成」靠它），加上每日 28,800 秒（約 8 小時語音）的免費額度。

OpenAI

  1. Open platform.openai.com/api-keys and sign in.
  2. Click Create new secret key, scope it to Audio and Chat if asked, and copy the key.
  3. OpenAI requires a paid balance — top up at least $5 in Billing before using.
  1. 開啟 platform.openai.com/api-keys 並登入。
  2. 點 Create new secret key，若被問到範圍請勾選 Audio 與 Chat，複製金鑰。
  3. OpenAI 需付費餘額才能使用，請先在 Billing 至少儲值 $5。

Gemini

  1. Open aistudio.google.com/apikey and sign in with a Google account.
  2. Click Create API key and pick a project (or create a new one).
  3. Copy the key — it starts with AIza.

Gemini’s free tier is currently the most generous of the LLM-only providers; an excellent pairing with Groq for transcription.

  1. 開啟 aistudio.google.com/apikey 並用 Google 帳號登入。
  2. 點 Create API key，選一個 GCP 專案（或新建一個）。
  3. 複製金鑰 — 開頭是 AIza。

Gemini 是目前 LLM-only 供應商中免費額度最大方的，搭配 Groq 轉錄是極佳組合。

OpenRouter

OpenRouter proxies dozens of LLMs (Claude, Llama, DeepSeek…) behind one API. Useful for trying experimental models without managing multiple accounts.

  1. Open openrouter.ai/keys and sign in.
  2. Click Create Key, copy the value — it starts with sk-or-v1-.
  3. Pre-load some credit, or use models marked :free (rate-limited).

OpenRouter 是 LLM 代理服務，一個 API 就能用 Claude、Llama、DeepSeek 等數十個模型，適合不想開多個帳號又想嘗鮮的人。

  1. 開啟 openrouter.ai/keys 並登入。
  2. 點 Create Key，複製金鑰 — 開頭是 sk-or-v1-。
  3. 先儲值，或使用標記 :free 的模型（有速率限制）。

NVIDIA NIM

  1. Open build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys and sign in.
  2. Generate a new key. Copy the value — it starts with nvapi-.

NVIDIA grants free credits to new accounts; useful for testing models hosted on their inference cloud.

  1. 開啟 build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys 並登入。
  2. 產生新金鑰，複製 — 開頭是 nvapi-。

NVIDIA 提供新帳號免費點數，適合測試他們推理雲端上的模型。

Configure in TypeLate

  1. Open Settings → AI → Provider Selection.
  2. Pick a transcription provider (Groq or OpenAI) and an LLM provider (any of the five). They can be different.
  3. Switch to API Keys in the same section. Paste each key into its slot. The icon next to the field turns green when the prefix validates.
  4. Click Test connection to confirm the key works.
  1. 開啟 設定 → AI → 供應商選擇。
  2. 選一個語音轉錄供應商（Groq 或 OpenAI）和一個 LLM 供應商（5 家任選），兩者可以不同。
  3. 在同一區切到 API 金鑰，把對應金鑰貼到對應欄位。前綴驗證通過時會顯示綠色圖示。
  4. 點 測試連線 確認金鑰可用。
