| Review breakdown | | |
| Most helpful review | Powerful, effective error-checker that I would recommend I’ve been using Verifika for about 4 years and have found it to be very useful. I do a lot of quarterly reports, so I use it primarily to check figures, but it has many other capabilities: punctuation, consistency-checking, etc. It can also be used to check terminology against your glossaries or specified terms. My CAT is Logiterm, which has no built-in QA, so Verifika is a very valuable adjunct. But it is also a lot more powerful and customizable than memoQ’s QA function. I haven’t used the QA feature in other CATs, so I can’t compare it with anything else. 5 out of 5 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | Huge time saver Wordfast Pro 5 is a standalone CAT tool that is compatible in my experience with Word, Powerpoint, InDesign and most other office software programs.
I work on a mac system and it is perfectly compatible.
I also need to use Trados for one client, but consistently use Wordfast Pro 5 for all others because of how easy and practical it is.
Highly recommended! And a training session to get you started is also highly recommended, to get the most out of it. 5 out of 5 found this review helpful.
