French speakers who write a lot at work but doubt their spelling: client emails, reports, job applications. If you reread every message three times before sending it, breathe — there's a solution.
Antidote (druide.com), the gold standard for French proofreading. It corrects spelling and grammar, but also style: repetitions, clunky sentences, anglicisms. It integrates with Word, your browser, and your email.
Trigger: You've finished writing an email or a document — analyzes the text, highlights mistakes and clunky phrasing, and suggests explained corrections, and you get a corrected, clearer text, approved suggestion by suggestion.
€5 to €11/month (annual license, about €60 to €130/year depending on the plan). No permanent free plan. 30-day free trial, then a paid subscription.

Level: Easy. Setup takes 4 steps; the first one: Download Antidote and install it on your computer.
Always re-read the sentences the tool rephrases: the meaning can subtly shift. Antidote is an excellent assistant, not a human proofreader: for a crucial document, have a real person review it.
