Home » Compare Comparing Memsource and Déjà Vu X3 Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Memsource | Déjà Vu X3 | | 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.

Read more reviews → | My main translation tool - everything you need in one package I have tried quite a few tools, but I invariably return back to Dejavu. It's a complete package with most everything you need to get up to speed when translating. For a serious translator the DVX3 Pro would be the recommended version.
- When you type, AutoWrite is trying to guess for the Terminology Database what you want to write, which improves speed.
- In DVX3 you can choose if you want source and target side by side (standard), or source above target. Source above target makes it much easier to see where you are in the translation.
- Spell checker on the fly. You can right click on the words that have a wiggly line below, and change the spelling then and there.
- I fin that numbered tags makes it easier to see if they are placed correctly in target, instead of named like in some other tools.
- All languages are available when you want to create a project, instead of being limited.
- It's easy to switch between project view (all documents in one view) and document view.
- Live Preview is available for major document types (Office documents).
- Formating (bold, italics etc.) is shown.
- It is easy get going with Dejavu even if you are new to it.. Also Atril has put out quite a few Youtube videos to help you if you need more instructions.
- Minor updates are free.
- And not least: If you need help, there is a discussion group where the users help each other with advice.7 out of 7 found this review helpful.
