Text Correction

Correct your text from a browser on your computer, tablet or phone by simply typing or pasting it into the corrector’s central panel. Review the detections and explore your text through this web application’s various features.

  1. Type or paste your text in the central panel. Antidote Web will analyze it instantly.
  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. Look over the detections under Antidote’s Language view first; the corrector’s different analyses are presented in six views on the horizontal navigation toolbar. A coloured dot appears on the Language, Typography and Style views as soon as a detection has been made. The other views (Revision, Statistics and Inspection) let you explore your text from different angles.
  4. Correct your 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 11’s User Guide.
  5. Click the copy icon () in the toolbar at the top of the screen, then paste your text into another application.

Tip — If you lose your connection while correcting a text, you can retrieve the latest version saved by Antidote Web by clicking on the new document icon (). Recently analyzed texts are kept for a limited time.
