Introduction:
Monosnap evolves and brings new features to provide a better experience, especially related to security in big companies.
Thousands of our customers do many of screenshots and screencasts daily, which possibly can contain personal/sensitive information.
To prevent leaks of such content, we implemented ChatGPT support to identify and classify info. This integration works internally inside your laptop, so, Monosnap infrastructure will not know anything about content you create and info extracted from it.
How does it work?
You need to turn ON the integration via Monosnap Settings window -> AI tab by checking "Check screenshots with ChatGPT".
We use OCR to extract text from a screenshot and process it later via ChatGPT api.
What is OCR?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the process that converts an image of text into a machine-readable text format.
If your system version supported and the OCR language pack included - you will see the "Supported" text status. If not, you need to install more OCR languages or update your OS.
How to install more OCR languages?
- In Windows, open the "Language settings" window. (You can search it by pressing Win key)
- In "Preferred languages" section, press "Add a language" button.
- Choose a language that you would like to install, and press "Next" button.
- Uncheck all "Optional language features" as we don't need any of them for OCR to work.
- Make sure that under "Required language features" it lists "Optical character recognition", if it's not listed there then your language doesn't support this feature, and press "Install" button.
- Wait for Windows to install the language we choose in the background.
- After the language is installed, you will see the "Supported" status in the settings window of Monosnap.
How we identify sensitive content?
Once OCR extracted the text we pack it and send to ChatGPT via internal integration, that's why we ask to put ChatGPT key to gain access to this functionality. We ask ChatGPT to identify any sensitive content and provide an explanation if it finds anything via frontmost alert.
How to get a ChatGPT API key?
- Create an account via https://platform.openai.com
- Open Dashboard tab
- Open API keys
- Create a new secret key
- Copy key and paste into Monosnap app
Congrats, you're setted up.
