Antidote 10 comes inside a very large installation package that weighs over 2GB in size and requires more than 6 GB of free space on your hard drive (more if you intend to install more than one language). Developers recommend having a Mac with more than 8 GB of RAM memory, and a fast SSD hard drive for quicker access to a large number of files that the program works with.

After a quick installation, the tool will detect all of the compatible text editors and browsers present on your Mac machine.

The app will be integrated as a new tab found on top of the app. This tab features easy access to its three core tools – Corrector, Dictionary, and Guides.

Your text will be marked with several color codes that signify mistakes – red for common spelling mistakes, forgetful accents, bad chords, and orange for unreadable sentences, grammar mistakes, and unfortunate turns of phrases.  Clicking on marked works or phrases will showcase your recommended fixes.
