## Reviews

### "The ultimate grammar and syntax correction software\!" — 5.0/5

> **Lalao** | *29 September 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use Antidote to write my product sheets, and I can say that it is a powerful correction software, which offers me plenty of features to help me produce quality content, that is to say clear, coherent and neat text. 
With tools like dictionaries and detectors that help me find and correct errors quickly and easily, I can focus on my text. Antidote is really essential to my work.
> 
> **Cons**: Antidote can be slow to work and in that case, it requires the use of a faster computer but overall, it is an excellent software that is very useful in my daily work.
> 
> I find Antidote to be a great tool for correcting errors. 
I have used it in my personal and professional writing and have been very pleased with the results. 
The program is easy to use and has improved the quality of my writing considerably. 
I highly recommend it to anyone who, like me, wants to improve their writing skills.

### "The ultimate tool to bring your writing to perfection" — 5.0/5

> **Philippe** | *29 July 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Connectix feature is awesome. Antidote is always there to help you on your favorites tools. It integrates smoothly through Office 365 and your web application through the browser extension.
> 
> **Cons**: It is difficult to find one. The price is high. I think Antidote + program is not affordable for student or people with low ressources. But they have, maybe, a special pricing for students.
> 
> Since I have Antidote my writing process have accelerated with serenity. This product is powerful and fast. There so many features. I love multiple personal dictionaries. The browser extension is active on all my browser. I can correct WordPress content with ease and all I wrote on the web too. Now I can't work without Antidote. It is my writing companion.

### "A product I wish I made better use of" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 March 2022* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Although Antidote seems very powerful and has a lot of features, I have yet to really make use of them. In particular, the integration with Mac Mail is constantly buggy. When it works, about all it does it remind me to send attachments, usually not when I actually need to.
> 
> **Cons**: In spite of having taken a seminar on this product at a conference, I still can't seem to wrap my head around how to use it to its capacity. It's like a Jaguar in the driveway for a person without a driver's license.
> 
> Some colleagues swear by it, which is the reason I purchased it, but I am not going to renew. It's just not providing any benefits to me.

### "Antidote is needed in the arsenal of anyone who writes... so everyone\!" — 5.0/5

> **Alexi** | *01 September 2022* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The main attraction of the software to me has been the accuracy and the contextualization of the recommendations. It uses context when suggesting word or sentence modification, and also explain the reason why so that you may take the best final decision.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes, I wish it had more smart writing features rather than serving as just a proofreading software. It should be a companion when I write, not only after the fact.

### "Excellent Grammar Checker" — 4.0/5

> **Samuel** | *08 May 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: More affordable than its competitor, and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: After Chat GPT I've been using grammar checker tools less.
