Home » Compare Comparing Memsource and Text United Translation Software Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Memsource | Text United Translation Software | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | Freely available and easy to use, not lacking much I have been using MemSource for almost a year, from the position of a linguist assigned jobs by an LSP. I also use another CAT tool so I feel competent to make some comparisons.
From my perspective of a linguist - translator, what I appreciate most about MemSource is the availability and simplicity of use. First of all, MemSource Editor is free of charge, so the fact that the LSP I work for has decided to implement MemSource and has asked me to translate in this environment does not cost me a single penny.
Secondly, the Editor is a very simple and intuitive tool which is easy to install and use but still has many powerful features. To give some examples, there is a track changes function, a thorough QA check, full spellchecking and grammar checking and all the main features you would normally expect to be available in a CAT tool.
Among the drawbacks, I miss a live preview feature most of all and sometimes I would like to connect my own TMs and glossaries to the projects I am working on, which is currently not possible.

The big advantage is that you are working in real time with your client or the project manager. The tool is free to use for the translator. It is also very intuitive and I have never lost data. The tags are extremely easy to implement. You can also use the tool offline, of course. I highly recommend it for building a long term relationship (yes!) with a client. Once the system is running, it is a breeze to use.
