API Keys for AI Features

AI transcription and translation features require an API key from each respective service.

WhisperKit (Local β€” No API Key Required)

Performs speech recognition directly on your Mac without internet. A one-time model download is required on first use, after which it works completely offline. Your data never leaves your device.

Google Gemini

Used for transcription and translation. You can get a free API key from Google AI Studio.

OpenAI

Used for Whisper (transcription) and GPT-4o (translation). Get your API key from OpenAI Platform.

Anthropic Claude

Used for subtitle translation. Get your API key from Anthropic Console.

API keys are entered in the app settings (Settings > API). Keys are stored only on your local device and are never transmitted externally (except for API calls to each AI service).
