Advanced Tips
Can I use both Groq and OpenAI?
Yes! You can add both API keys in the settings. Text Polish will use Groq as the primary service and automatically fall back to OpenAI if Groq is unavailable. This provides better reliability.
How can I make Text Polish work faster?
• Use Groq API (generally faster than OpenAI)
• Keep your text selections reasonably short
• Text Polish caches responses, so repeated requests are instant
• Ensure you have a stable internet connection
