Home » Compare Comparing Heartsome Translation Studio and Text United Translation Software Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Heartsome Translation Studio | Text United Translation Software | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | very nice features available, but not as efficient to use and support may be spotty This is a beautiful program, with some very nice features. But ultimately I chose OmegaT over Heartsome, because Heartsome just isn't as efficient to use.
pluses:
* can filter the editing pane to show only certain types of segments
* easy to switch the editing pane between horizontal and vertical relation of source to target segment
* can merge and split a segment (I didn’t try this feature out)
* can edit the source segment
* can display formatting tags at three different levels of detail
* numeral consistency check (my sample translations didn’t have figures in them, so I couldn’t test this feature)
minuses:
* technical support is iffy: I sent a note to support through the website, and never received any reply. Later their support staff just happened to send me a “How’s it going?” email, and in my reply I included the full text of my support request. They were then very helpful in addressing all issues, albeit with a time-zone delay since they’re located in East Asia. Perhaps regular email is the way to contact them.
the process of starting up a new project seems long to me, though this is a little hard for me to quantify or explain
* it failed to import my tmx file — though technical support examined my file, declared it was a glitch in their program, and said they would resolve it
* I found the various segment statuses confusing, as well as the icons used to denote them (the program and the documentation don’t fully explain what the icons mean)
* the program creates a rather complex folder hierarchy, and it can be hard to find the translation memories and glossaries to select them in the program, and to find the target file (except by opening it from within the program)

Read more reviews → | Excellent online tool with a good team I am using this tool since 2009 on a daily basis. 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.
