Antidote Web Quick Start Guide

Quick Start Guide / The Antidote Web Interface

The Antidote Web Interface

Antidote Web gives users access to the same three tools that power the desktop version of Antidote: the corrector, the dictionaries and the guides. The main difference is that these tools run in a browser instead of the typical application windows.

As its name suggests, this quick start guide is meant to help you find your bearings. The following pages will introduce you to the Antidote Web interface and the ways you can use it to correct a text.

For example, to find out what it means when the corrector underlines a word in orange, refer to the Antidote 11 User Guide. Since Antidote Web is the cloud edition of the software, the vast majority of the functions remain the same; you will find several links here to Antidote 11’s User Guide.

Antidote Web’s interface automatically adjusts to the size of your device’s screen. See how it is displayed on a regular screen versus a small screen under the tabs below.
