120 New Features in Interface, Function and Content
Among the 120 new features for English and French, the corrector now helps users write more readable and inclusive texts. The dictionaries bring the two languages together by giving the translations of more than 2.5 million words and expressions. Users can also take advantage of a new optional service that allows them to synchronize their personal dictionaries across multiple devices.
Tooltips now contain possible actions (Correct and Ignore in the example below) and error diagnoses are now displayed more clearly.
Display of Bold, Italic and Emojis!
Not only does Antidote display bold and italic, it also recognizes them. This allows Antidote to better analyze self-referential terms, allowing for improved correction.
New Gender Neutrality Filter
The gender neutrality filter flags elements in the text that can contribute to a more equitable representation of men and women such as job titles and terms of address.
More Precise Analysis of New Detections
Thousands of lexical and syntactic refinements make for improved correction.
New Readability Filter
This new filter gives the Antidote readability score between 0 (very difficult to read) and 100 (very easy to read) and underlines the elements in the text that can be modified to improve the score (long sentences, rare or foreign words, abbreviations, etc.).

Translation of every word, expression and proverb
