Druide Supports Schools

More Than 1100 Schools Receive Antidote for Christmas

Montréal, December 9, 2025 — Just in time for Christmas, 1140 Canadian schools will receive a free license for Antidote 12, Druide’s flagship writing assistance software, allowing them to install it on 10 computers. This represents a donation worth over 1.1 million dollars.

First established by Druide in Canada, then in Belgium and in France, the Antidote School Donation Program gives one free license to a school for every 10 copies of Antidote sold at retail. Druide’s customers in each of these countries vote for the winning institutions. Many made their voices heard; no fewer than 18,038 buyers felt that their favourite school could make good use of Antidote’s educational potential.

Quebec is home to the largest number of winning schools. Since the first edition of Antidote was published in 1996, a total of 4905 schools have installed Antidote on 77,437 computers, which represents over 7.5 million dollars in software and maintenance distributed free of charge to educational institutions.

Druide, with the help of its customers, is thrilled to make this contribution to education. Bringing together an advanced corrector, rich dictionaries and detailed language guides, Antidote allows students to learn from their mistakes and improve their style. Designed initially for professional office writing, the software also shines in the classroom thanks to the innovative educational use that teachers have made of it for more than 25 years.

Crowned best choice in several specialized media rankings, Antidote stands out for its powerful neural correction engine, comprehensive reference works and seamless integration with the main word processing and email software on Windows and Mac.

Druide informatique has been specializing in artificial intelligence and computational linguistics since 1993. The company produces and markets Antidote, the most comprehensive writing assistance software available for English and French, as well as Typing Pal, the renowned typing tutorial application. In addition to its software, Druide also publishes French-language literature and reference works through its subsidiary, Éditions Druide.
