        "content": "It depends on exactly what version or feature of Leasey you\u2019re using \u2014 Leasey from Hartgen Consultancy (for screen readers like JAWS) has a \u201cChatGPT\u201d option built in. There *are* ways to disable or prevent use of that feature *without* uninstalling Leasey entirely \u2014 and whether you *should* or *can* depends on your workplace policies and technical setup. Here\u2019s what I found:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What Does Leasey Offer with ChatGPT?\n\n- Leasey has built-in support for ChatGPT. The first time you use Leasey in a new JAWS session, Leasey checks if your assigned API key (for ChatGPT) is available before sending queries to ChatGPT. ([hartgenscripts.com](https://hartgenscripts.com/LeaseyHelp/ChatGPT1.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- To send prompts you either use the normal menu, or a special keyboard shortcut (\u201cChat Key then N\u201d) once set up. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://www.hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/ChatGPT1.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udeab Disabling the ChatGPT Feature vs Removing Leasey\n\nHere are your options:\n\n1. **Disable or hide the ChatGPT commands/features inside Leasey**  \n   Leasey supports disabling certain features by remapping or disabling their keyboard shortcuts. If there\u2019s a \u201cChat Key then N\u201d for starting a ChatGPT prompt, your IT department might disable that particular hotkey or menu item. Leasey keystrokes are configurable via its \u201cHotkey Help\u201d tools and settings. ([hartgenscripts.com](https://hartgenscripts.com/LeaseyHelp/keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Remove or disable the required API key**  \n   Since Leasey checks for an API key to allow sending prompts to ChatGPT, if the API key is not available or revoked, the ChatGPT feature becomes unusable. Without a valid key, prompts can\u2019t be sent. ([hartgenscripts.com](https://hartgenscripts.com/LeaseyHelp/ChatGPT1.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Policy or network restrictions**  \n   The organization may block outbound connections for ChatGPT or AI services at the network/security level. That prevents data being sent even if the user interface remains available. ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/bits2024?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Uninstalling Leasey**  \n   If you want to ensure *all* Leasey-features (including ChatGPT) are entirely removed, uninstalling is an option. This is more extreme, though: you lose all the other functions of Leasey too (which you may find useful). Complete removal usually requires administrator rights and might involve removing related scripts and configuration files. ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/leaseydocumentation?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 What to Do in Your Situation\n\nGiven your workplace concerns, here are suggested steps:\n\n- Talk with your IT department or whoever manages software policy/security. Let them know that Leasey has an in-built ChatGPT feature, and see if they can disable just that functionality (hotkey/menu/API key), rather than removing Leasey entirely.\n- Ask whether network/firewall rules can block Leasey\u2019s connections to the ChatGPT API \u2014 that\u2019s an effective way to turn off ChatGPT usage without affecting other features.\n- If needed, you could suggest a \u201cLeasey configuration policy\u201d profile for work computers that disables the Chat key or removes the API key.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version of Leasey you're using (JAWS version, Leasey Advanced vs Basic) and whether you have admin access (or your IT team), I can help with more specific instructions for disabling just the AI part."
