And why should we do the market research for a 3rd party who reveals no info about who she/he is, why he/she wants this info or what his/her own results are so far?

While I still think that CATs are overhyped and mostly can be useful only when segmented by paragraphs or after careful post-edit, I find online (cloud-/browser-/web-based) CATs subpar offline (standalone) counterparts, not to mention NDA and possible connection and security issues.

A customer satisfaction study?--For a translator, an agency or an end client? And who keeps counting? No good, except vendors and related people. Meanwhile all those statistics looks more like ads, trend-making, frugging, or sugging--selling under the guise of market research. Shortly, you always pay for everything--whether you see and acknowledge it or not. Why, for sure vendors are very sensitive and creative when it comes to promoting their stuff and the price policy, that's why a fried of mine once made me laugh asking whether an agency would charge less for using a free CAT) ▲ Collapse | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Best / Most-Used Web-Based CAT-Tool: Your Opinion, Availability of Research Anycount & Translation Office 3000 | Translation Office 3000
