Antidote can pronounce over 500,000 word forms, with a Toronto or London accent. Should one write replace with or replace by? One click reveals all possible prepositions directly among the definitions: more than 20,000 examples have been added to illustrate usage. Finally, a new search mode makes it possible to cross-reference the combinations of two words so as to display all their common combinations.
