  1. Get a free API key from console.groq.com
  2. Open Wispli Settings → General
  3. Enter your API key

3. Set Your Language

  1. Open Settings → General
  2. Click on Language
  3. Select your preferred input language

Verify Installation

Test that everything works:

  1. Press Ctrl + Space (Windows) or Cmd + Space (macOS)
  2. Say "Hello, this is a test"
  3. Release the shortcut
  4. You should see your transcribed text
