Most helpful review	memoQ is fantastic, an intuitive tool that solves problems! By two2tango I have been using CAT tools for about 10 years and have used Wordfast, Trados 2007, Studio 2009, SDLX, Mneme, Deja Vu and Across. memoQ surpasses them all, from the installation which is automatic, to updates, to technical support to its webinars and resource center to its great features (LiveDocs!) and ease of use in general. I recommend my colleagues to download a memoQ trial version and I am sure they will fall for it. Haydée Incicco (two2tango) 47 out of 63 found this review helpful.

The 2022 version of Trados is something to be considered when acquiring a new CAT-tool, but upgrading from earlier versions does not really add huge value (but a huge cost) unless cloud services for storage/project handling as well as machine translation are desired. Trados is relatively easy to learn/handle, but at the same time stuck in the past. Be aware of the following: The 2022 version is (as of November 2022) buggy. Editing the Windows registry might be required to get things working properly, switching between projects is buggy. Trados is having difficulties with UNC and requires mapped drives. Licensning is "outdated" and not user friendly in times of home-office and remote work, i.e. can't use remote desktop unless when deploying a network license which again requires a local (separate computer acting as) server for license management (no cloud license) When editing/translating the find/replace function comes short to MemoQ. Editing/maintaining TMs needs improvment. 5 out of 6 found this review helpful. Read more reviews →
Product description	memoQ translator pro: created by translators for translators! memoQ translator pro is a computer-assisted translation tool which runs on Microsoft Windows and on Mac using Parallels or VMWareFusion. It was envisioned more than 12 years ago by a group of enthusiastic linguists who aimed to develop innovative translation software which increases translator's productivity while being easy to learn and use. Translation memory memoQ features a state of the art translation memory which stores your translations and helps you reuse them. The translation memory boosts productivity and consistency throughout your project. With a translation memory in place you will never need to translate the same thing twice. Term base memoQ posses an advanced term base for handling terminology. With it, you can extract terms from files and translation memories, import your existing glossaries, combine bilingual glossaries into multilingual ones, or easily add new terminology as you translate. The Muse Muses offer automatic suggestions for target terms as you type. Muses are “trained” by analyzing content that is available from your translation memories and LiveDocs corpora. The more content available, the more precise and personalized the suggestions will be. LiveDocs LiveDocs is the best example of features in memoQ that speed up work. It is an alternative to translation memories which keeps your translation content structured and organized. It allows for the reuse of previous material based on the entire corpus rather than segments. This is the technology that makes memoQ, the CAT tool of choice for thousands of translators around the world.
