However, I can still help you troubleshoot and offer a general guide based on how API keys work and common issues. If you want, I can also try digging deeper or contacting support info if any exists for Braille Sense.\n\nHere are some steps and things to verify:\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 What to Check\n\n1. **Is your OpenAI API key valid and active?**  \n   - Log in to your OpenAI account (platform.openai.com) \u2192 *API keys*. Make sure the key hasn\u2019t been deleted, expired, or revoked.  \n   - Make sure billing is set up correctly. If there\u2019s no payment method on file or the account is restricted, keys often become inactive. ([titikey.com](https://www.titikey.com/en/article/article-1769993950701?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Correct format and no accidental whitespace.**  \n   - Copy/paste carefully. Extra spaces before or after the key will cause \u201cInvalid API key\u201d errors.  \n   - Make sure the key starts with `sk-...` or `sk-proj-...` (depending on OpenAI\u2019s current conventions) and that you\u2019ve copied the full key. ([supportretriever.com](https://supportretriever.com/knowledge-base/ai-companion/troubleshooting-ai-companion?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Permissions / organization scope.**  \n   - If you\u2019re using an organization/team account, ensure the key is tied to the correct org. Keys sometimes are limited in scope or may need specific permissions. ([knowledge-base.crisp.help](https://knowledge-base.crisp.help/en/article/chatgpt-agents-invalid-api-key-1aozvj/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Network or device restrictions.**  \n   - Braille Sense might have firewall, proxy, or network restrictions that block access to external servers.  \n   - Make sure the device has internet and can reach OpenAI endpoints.\n\n5. **Software/app version.**  \n   - If you\u2019re using an app or third-party implementation on the Braille Sense that uses the API, make sure it\u2019s updated. Older versions may have bugs or incompatible methods of handling API keys.  \n   - Also make sure the app or script is correctly designed to accept custom API keys (some are hard-coded or expect specific environments).\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 What You Can Try\n\nHere\u2019s a generic process you could use to set up the key, adapted for Braille Sense:\n\n1. Get your key from OpenAI:  \n   Go to **OpenAI Dashboard** \u2192 **API Keys**, create a new key (if needed), copy it.\n\n2. On your Braille Sense device:  \n   - Open the app or interface that asks for the API key.  \n   - Paste the key exactly (no leading/trailing spaces).  \n   - If there\u2019s a \u201cTest\u201d or \u201cValidate\u201d option, use it.\n\n3. If there\u2019s an environment config file or settings file (depending on how the app is installed), ensure it is updated with the new key and that the file is readable by the app.\n\n4. Restart the app or device (if possible). Sometimes changes don\u2019t fully take effect until after a restart.\n\n5. Try a simple API call (if there\u2019s a built-in test feature) \u2014 e.g. \u201cHello\u201d or something minimal \u2014 to see if it works.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to locate a user manual or Braille Sense-specific guide to walk through step by step. Would you like me to do that?"
