Services

Antidote can be accessed from any application that is compatible with the Services menu in macOS.

Activation

To display Antidote’s resources within the macOS Services menu:

  1. From the application desired, here TextEdit, select Services from the application's menu.
  2. Select Services Preferences...
  3. Under the section Text, check the desired services:
    • Antidote — Corrector
    • Antidote — Dictionaries
    • Antidote — Guides

Note - Antidote already inserts its commands in the context menu of most applications. In such cases, the Service commands may appear in duplicate. The first are generally preferable.

Use

  1. Select the text to be corrected or the word to be looked up.
  2. Right-click (or Ctrl+click) on the selected text. In the context menu that opens, select the desired resource or select Services then the desired resource.
  3. Antidote opens that resource.

Note — The corrector will sometimes copy the text into a working document before correcting it. If so, you will need to copy and paste the corrections back into the original document. Some formatting may be lost when the text is transferred to Antidote.
