Memoq

Yes, but... wouldn't MemoQ be covered by the presentation on Déjà Vu (DVX)? It appears to me from the list that the purpose of the comparison is not to introduce specific brands but rather the different look-and-feels of CAT tools that are available. I mean, the fact that CatsCradle is even on the list should be a clue to you. I mean II, sixty minutes to introduce 10 tools... it's not about the brands.

As someone said in this thread, the aim of the presentation is to give an overview of what CAT tools are and what they can do for us as translators and not to talk about specific brands.
That said, the fact that MemoQ does not appear in the outline does not mean that it will be ignored...
There are probably specific sessions on... See more
Thank you for your comments and feedback everyone

There are probably specific sessions on MemoQ should anyone be interested though.

Hi Anne-Charlotte, Thanks for the overview! I'm new to webinars. Please tell me how to download the lecture notes, as I'd like to review them further. I couldn't find a link anywhere, if there was one. Thanks, Pam
