| Criteria |
What
MetaTexis
offers |
| Value for money |
Best. There is no
other tool which combines low price and professional features in the way
MetaTexis does. MetaTexis combines fast, innovative and powerful
functions with a low price: You only have to pay a little more than 100
EURO to get a professional and user-friendly tool Compare the
price and the license restrictions for other tools: TRADOS, DejaVu, and SDLX are extremely expensive
(at least 300 Dollars, often more), and a Wordfast license is only temporary. |
| Compatibility |
Integrates easily.
MetaTexis can read and write TRADOS and Wordfast documents.
MetaTexis NET/office can even directly use the TRADOS Workbench.
Moreover, it can import and export TMX documents. |
| Installation |
As easy as it can be.
Installed in a few seconds. Only one installation file. No interference
with other Word-Add-ins. Word starts up very fast because MetaTexis
requires almost no compilation (unlike Wordfast). |
| Ease of use |
Intuitive and clear.
After installing MetaTexis you can start working immediately. The start
assistant lets you define the main settings in a few seconds. You only
need to run one program you know well: MS Word.
Unlike TRADOS you do not have to run several programs at the same time.
Unlike DejaVu or SDLX MetaTexis is fully WYSIWYG enabled. |
| Error proof |
Secure handling.
You can hardly corrupt a document (except if this is your very
objective). Compared with TRADOS and Wordfast, MetaTexis uses a superior
technology to identify and manage translation units in a Word document.
Moreover, as MetaTexis uses proper database engines, the handling of the
translation memories and terminology databases is secure and fast. |
| Integration |
Smooth. MetaTexis
integrates perfectly in Microsoft Word, thus combining the features of
the most powerful Word processor with the ease of use and professional
features of MetaTexis. |
| Statistical features |
Complete. MetaTexis
not only provides detailed information about the documents translated,
but also about each translation unit, including the translators who have
worked on them. |
| Quality management |
Unique combination of
features. MetaTexis combines the WYSIWYG approach and formal
quality checking in unique way. The function Go to next TU to be
revised allows you to navigate to any TU which need to be revised
for any reason. |
| Support |
Fast and competent.
Directly by the programmer itself. Each user can influence the
development of MetaTexis just by sending an email or contributing in the
Forum. |
