| Most helpful review | Easy to learn None of the CAT tools are excellent but some of them are very good, DVX2 is one of them. Easy to install, easy to create a project, translation memory or termbase. Most functions are intuitive, possibly one can start translation right after installing it without reading the pdf help file even partially.21 out of 22 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | memoQ is fantastic, an intuitive tool that solves problems! 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.

| Product description | DVX2 Professional combines Intelligent Quality technology with customizable productivity and quality assurance. | 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.
