Without further ado! we planned to test Antidote version 12! a writing tool in French and English! as soon as it was released. This software is now even more boosted by artificial intelligence (AI). So we went to the dedicated customer area to download the latest version and install it on our MacBook.
Overall! the operation goes smoothly on MacOS Sonoma. However! it takes a few minutes to launch Connectix! which installs Antidote in all compatible software. And if! like me! you have many programs! it takes a good ten minutes.
Antidote is rolling out across the internet
This done! we are obviously tempted to correct our first text. First surprise! the launch of the program is now clearly faster. In addition! the ergonomics have been further improved. The tabs at the top of the window of the writing assistance program now give access to “reformulation” next to the traditional correction.
So we went for this new feature in the desktop version. Indeed! this feature! already offered in overseas chinese in canada data the web version! had been tested here. It is clear that the Druide editor has made further progress with this integration which offers rather relevant suggestions! in general. All the new features .
Antidote 12: in the right order…
Be careful though. Having removed the redundancies with the traditional corrector! by integrating the suggestions of Antidote 12! I then saw repetitions return. Moreover! even if the suggestions were rather relevant! they also brought a little more heaviness.
Another surprise is the integration of Antidote directly into the text windows of different internet browsers. This “express correction” is really a plus! because it is available very quickly. Furthermore! by fully using 6 important usability attributes the potential of AI and “neural intelligence”! the corrector is now more powerful.
Test: Antidote 12 even more powerful
Are you tempted? Druide offers on its website The Antidote different options from the annual sesame to the perpetual license with options for French or English or both languages. Note that the annual version of Antidote+ is also offered in family mode for up to five users. Prices range from 29 euros per year to 119 euros for a perpetual license in French and English.
In the end! I must admit that I was impressed by this new lob directory version 12. Some will ask me the usefulness of such a program in the era of ChatGPT or other AI. As with any algorithm! the more it is intended for a specific use! the more precise it is. As you will have understood! Antidote 12 is a first-class writing aid.
