This plugin leverages OpenAI's API to provide text translation, text polishing, and grammar correction for the Bob macOS translation app. It aims to offer a powerful, unified solution for language enhancement, comparable to tools like Grammarly, and is targeted at macOS users seeking advanced text processing capabilities.

How It Works

The plugin integrates directly with the Bob application, utilizing OpenAI's API to perform its core functions. Users configure their OpenAI API key within Bob's preferences. The plugin supports translation between any languages and offers a "polishing" feature by setting the target language to match the source language, effectively providing grammar correction and stylistic improvements.
