| 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 → | I must say there are many tools that are much better and more translator-friendly... The tool has many drawbacks, i.e.:
- it is very difficult to go through a translation and do global changes
- there is no proper concordance search - the one there is does not open in a second window, but always takes you away from the phrase you are currently translating. Very annoying.
- it is very difficult to maintain consistency across very similar phrases (often previous translations are not offered as fuzzy matches)
- it is not possible to open two similar documents at once, i.e. you cannot refer back and forth between both of them
- there is not proper speedy spellcheck function
- you cannot display invisible characters (i.e. blank spaces between words)
- there is no possibility for the translator to view the translation in final layout before handing it back to the agency/client
etc. etc.26 out of 26 found this review helpful.
