Text Correction in Antidote Web

With Antidote Web, you can correct text from a browser on your computer, tablet or phone. If you added the necessary connectors on your computer, you can run Antidote Web from the application where you’re writing. The text will automatically open in the corrector, and all changes will be applied to the original document, without having to copy-paste.

You can also paste or type your text in the corrector. Once you have finished your revision, copy the text and paste it to replace the original text.

To see how to correct a text in Antidote Web on the type of screen you use to write, select the relevant tab below (On a regular screen or On a small screen).

On a regular screen

On a small screen

  1. Antidote Web analyzes your text in the correction panel.

  2. Click a detection in the list displayed in the right-hand panel to locate it in the text. This panel provides an overview of the corrector’s analysis.

  3. Correct the text by reviewing each detection. Click an underlined word or passage and a tooltip appears to provide an explanation. Then click the action you would like to take to handle the detection (e.g., correct, ignore, edit). For more information, see the Handling a Detection section of Antidote 12’s User Guide.

  4. Detections under Antidote’s Language view are shown first. The corrector’s different analyses are presented under seven views on the horizontal navigation toolbar. A coloured dot appears on the Language, Typography, Style and Anti-Oops! views as soon as a detection is made. The other views (Revision, Statistics and Inspection) let you explore a text from different angles.

  5. Click the Reformulation button in the toolbar to reword your text. Select among the four different views to Rewrite, Retouch, Soften or Shorten your text. Click the sentence you want to rework, and Antidote will provide up to four AI-generated suggestions for reformulating it while remaining true to your ideas. For more information, see the Reformulation Mode section of Antidote 12’s User Guide.

  6. If you are not using an app with an Antidote Connector, click the copy icon once you have finished reviewing the detections, then paste your text into another application.

  7. Click the new document icon when you want to start over with a new text or to retrieve a recently analyzed text.

    Tip — If your connection is lost while you are correcting a text, you can recover the most recently saved version this way.
