memoQ is a translation technology from the company of the same name headquartered in Budapest, boasting an emphasis on quality, innovation and customer satisfaction.
MemoQ is useful in its own ways. It was the first CAT tool I have ever used, so my proficiency is higher in this regard. The QA process seems to be lighter and smoother, allowing for a fast review of the work in question, with a good and trusting spellcheck feature.
The integration is very easy implemented with email client or web browser, you can translate emails, web pages and quality of translation is on top. Regarding document translation it gives you only 3 formats of documents (.pdf, .pptx and .docx), in my experience this type of documents are sufficient, however it would be better to see other type of documents as well. Also, you have to convert your old document in Word or PowerPoint to latest version, otherwise program won't accept it.
I believe memoQ is the best CAT tool of all the ones I have tested. As a PM, it has a lot of file filters that are highly customizable. You can even use cascading filters to add extra filter settings to the default file filter. Also, the use of REGEX is almost available everywhere in memoQ. You can use regex for filenames, regex for tagging items in files, regex when importing items, regex when exporting translations, regex for QA checking, regex for filtering, etc. They also added a regex library so you can save your favorite regex and easily reuse them. From a translator's point of view, the LiveDocs functionality is something that no other CAT tool has (to my knowledge). With LiveDocs you can just add any type of document, and if it has selectable text, memoQ will search this text as if it were a TM while translating. Even for non-bilingual documents, this is really helpful as you can sometimes need to reference other materials while translating.
Limits of the free version: 5MB and 5000 words. No problems with the paid version
Because it is the only software that translates documents while preserving the images and design of the original, it sometimes makes errors in output with aesthetically complex layouts
DeepL thanks to AI produces results identical to Google Translate or in many cases much better and closer to reality.This helps a lot, especially when translating and reading long documents (instead of testing our patience to understand the translated meaning of technical documents).In addition, features such as translating text to images via ocr is amazing and very fast in both input (keyboard shortcut) and output.
We are using memoQ for only certain projects and it’s not our main tool. It’s relatively slow and sometimes it can get too complicated. It does the job in the end but we prefer Memsource because of its easy-to-use interface as time is very important for us as project managers.

I easily communicate with the support of the foreign software I use for work and with entrepreneurs all over the world, before I would have avoided so as not to lose temp
