Description
THE FINEST FRENCH REFERENCE TOOL ON iPAD — Antidote Ardoise brings together eleven dictionaries and eleven language guides of the highest quality for your iPad.
Antidote Ardoise offers you rich definitions, abundant synonyms, complete conjugation tables and much more, with an elegant interface carefully adapted to the iPad. Type in a word, then see at a glance an abstract of the results from all eleven dictionaries for that word; choose the desired dictionary with a touch. “Turn the page” from one dictionary to the next. Touch any word to see its complete definition, perhaps to verify the meaning of a synonym or to understand an analogy. Touch the Wikipedia link and access the detailed encyclopedic articles, without ever leaving Antidote. Display a map or satellite photo of more than 6000 cities, countries and regions, and “enlarge the image” with your fingers.
From spelling to style through grammar, punctuation and history, Antidote's guides cover all aspects of writing in French. Over 750 articles are organized in a clear tree structure. Finger-browse through a comprehensive index to find a given article. And “turn the pages” from one article to the next with a swipe of your finger.
Explore the treasures of French with the Discoveries mode. Ask for the names of countries or famous people, and Antidote will display them in a random sequence. Add your findings to your list of favourite words to get back to them easily. Play the dictionary game by guessing a series of words from their definitions.
Antidote Ardoise is self-contained and doesn't need an Internet connection (except when following a Wikipedia or maps link). Install Antidote Ardoise, and you will have at your fingertips the most powerful French reference tool ever devised for your iPad.
