    It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

    Localized fits perfectly for clients who would love to have their website localized. It offers great plugins and integrations with popular content management systems and serves as a translation management system for your website. Setup is rather easy, however, more complex setups would require a more technical approach which is not always possible.

    • Super easy integration - it takes one minute to add and configure the Localize WordPress plugin.
    • Convenient Admin - it is straight forward to add a project, get the API key and start adding translations.
    • Front End display - the switch between language is intuitive and efficient. It loads all languages super fast.

    Cons
    NCH Software
    • Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
    • Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
    • Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

    • Providing other features, beyond language. Such as replacing images or other content to allow a fully tailored website for each country.

    Frankly, we don't know what other translation management systems are out there, so we can't comment on how they compare to Localize.

    Return on Investment
    NCH Software
    • Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
    • Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
    • Low cost of software
