Anti-Oops!

Anti-Oops! checks your email when you click Send. If your message contains errors or an abrasive tone that might be ill received by the recipient, the corrector opens automatically. Anti-Oops! also flags missing attachments.

Just click the send button in the corrector once you have finished your revision.

You can manage how Anti-Oops! handles your emails in Antidote’s settings.

Antidote Agent

The Antidote Agent is represented by a flask icon in the system tray next to the clock, near the bottom right corner of your screen. You may need to click the chevron to display all the icons in the notification area. Right-click the flask icon to open the menu and access all Antidote’s resources and more.

To correct a passage or to look up a word:

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.

Particularities
