AI for text, on your terms
Make every word work harder.
TextAid helps you correct, reshape, generate, and translate text from the Windows applications you already use. Capture a selection or enter text directly, choose what you need, and review the result before using it.

The essentials
Your text stays in your hands
TextAid works with the text you select and gives you a chance to check every result.
Translate
Move quickly
Press Ctrl+C, then T to start a translation immediately. Review it and adjust the destination language when needed.
Review
Decide what to keep
Inspect the result, then copy it, replace the original selection when available, or cancel.
Keep working on your text
Correct it. Shorten it. Translate the version you kept.
Use the filled left-pointing triangle to move a completed result into the input. Then choose another action and run it when you are ready. The result’s known language follows the text.
Continue
Use a result as your next input
Work on the intermediate text without copying and pasting it between windows.
Choose
Pick a model for one action
Leave the selector on Default for normal routing, or explicitly choose a configured connection and model for the next action.
Connection choice
Use AI where it makes sense for you
TextAid starts with local Ollama. You can also configure a network Ollama server, sign in with OpenAI to use an eligible ChatGPT plan, or keep using an OpenAI-compatible service with its API key.
Each connection has its own Active setting and model. Both OpenAI access methods run in the External category and require deliberate setup.
How connections and profiles workThis device only
Run a model through Ollama on your Windows computer.
On-premises
Connect to an Ollama server on a network you administer.
External
Sign in with OpenAI and authorize ChatGPT plan usage, or configure an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and API key. Plan and account limits apply.
