The Antidote Agent is represented by a monochrome flask icon in the menu bar, near the top right corner of your screen. Click the icon to open a menu from which you can access all Antidote’s resources and more.

To correct a passage or to look up a word:

1. Select the text.
2. Click the Antidote Agent icon.
3. Select the resource you want to use from the menu.

You can use this menu to launch Antidote from any application you are writing in. If Antidote integrates with the software in question, any changes you make in the corrector will be applied automatically to the source text. Otherwise, you need to copy the corrected text and paste it back into the original document.

You can access Antidote’s resources from any software that is compatible with macOS Services.
