OpenAI Text Processing

To use OpenAI, you need to enter a "API key" which you receive after registering an account at OpenAI.com. The API key must be entered in the PhraseExpress settings:

To enter the API key:
  1. Register an account at OpenAI.com.
  2. Go to your user profile and create a personal "API key" (example: 43943f3fd-r46f-0kqeb-55c-6lk3l2s183ab8).
  3. Copy & paste the API key into PhraseExpress.
  4. A green check mark indicates successful activation in PhraseExpress.

Keep your API key at a safe place. PhraseExpress stores the key with encryption. You will not be able to restore it from PhraseExpress.

If the API key is not accepted, check if you mistyped or copied extra characters or spaces.

Your text will transmitted over the internet to the "OpenAI" online service (OpenAI privacy policy).

PhraseExpress itself does not perform the AI processing but integrates the 3rd party service OpenAI into the user interface. Fees may apply for each text processing. Please contact OpenAI for OpenAI support. Due to the early stage of AI technology, the text output can be nonsense. Please consider the feature experimental. It is provided "as-is" and it is not part of the official PhraseExpress specification.
