Antidote's corrector

memoQ connects to Antidote using:

• WebSocket API

• JS-Connect API (for browser environments)

This connection sends only editable target text.

Windows:

• Chrome

• Firefox

• Edge

macOS:

• Chrome

• Firefox

• Safari

The most important rules when using Antidote are:

• Antidote displays plain text only, so formatting (such as bold or italics) isn't visible.

• memoQ doesn't send non-editable, empty, or locked rows to Antidote.

• Tags aren't sent or displayed in Antidote.

Antidote doesn't visually distinguish between editable and non-editable segments.

When changes are returned to memoQ:

• If you correct text that has formatting, memoQ keeps the original formatting.

• If corrected text replaces content with mixed formatting, the new text follows the formatting rules previously applied in memoQ.

  This means that mixed formatting may be simplified after correction.

• If you correct text near a tag, the tag is placed after the modified text.

To start using Antidote with memoQ, first you need to download, install, and activate it. memoQ supports Antidote 's corrector 11 or newer.
