Product Review

French grammar correction software may have reached a plateau with Bilingual Corrector. As comparison with Antidote, Sans-Faute, and Le Correcteur reveals, the degree of accuracy in grammar correction does not seem to improve dramatically with each new product or version of that product. Advances at this stage, therefore, may not be in the field of error-detection per se, but in the features that such software can offer to the user, and how the program presents its findings. The various options--the whole package--is what makes Bilingual Corrector appealing: correction in both English and French, extensive dictionary features, grammatical tips and explanations, reference material, and of course, the ease with which a user can access these features. The interface, instructional design, and intuitive layout make the program relatively effortless to utilize. The fact that Corrector puts the onus on the user to make changes, and forces the user to be an active participant in the revision of a text, renders the product a solid resource for pedagogical purposes.
