Running Antidote From a Web Browser
Once you have added the appropriate connector, Antidote Web flags language errors in real time directly where you are writing and provides in-depth corrections in the corrector window.
This section of the guide describes the different ways you can correct your text with Antidote Web in a browser on your computer without having to copy-paste (integration is not supported for smartphones or tablets).
Live Correction
Live Correction works in your browser and lets you correct your writing in real time in editable text fields on the web. No need to run the corrector. It includes the corrector’s key features: coloured underlining, explanatory tooltips and reformulation.
The flask button appears automatically when you begin typing in an editable text field. Its appearance changes based on the Live Correction status, for example:
The text is being analyzed.
At least one error was detected (red underlining).
At least one alert was triggered (orange underlining).
No errors were detected, or all detections have been corrected.
When you hover the mouse over the flask button, you can choose to Continue in Antidote Web. You can also just click the button. This will open your text in the corrector, where you can access all of Antidote’s features.
Once you have finished your revision, simply close the corrector; the changes are automatically applied to the original text. No need to copy-paste!
