Integration
Antidote integrates with other software on your computer to support you in your writing process. To do this, it uses connectors designed for individual software applications. The Connectix utility adds Antidote’s connectors to compatible applications installed on your computer. Connectix first runs when you install Antidote, and you can use it as needed to add, remove and manage your connectors or to learn out how to launch Antidote from a given application.
Integrating Antidote with your other software
Integrate Antidote your other software by selecting Integration of Antidote with Your Software (Connectix) from Antidote’s Help menu to open the Connectix utility, which will automatically detect compatible software installed on your computer and let you install the appropriate connectors.

The Antidote Agent
