    The system is well suited if you also run Trados or any second system. As the system is very expensive and the use of MTUs is rather complicated to understand the best thing is to run most larger projects through Trados or any other CAT tool and then to import it. Large projects are expensive in Phrase Localization Platform so I would recommend it if you have small projects and have enough capacity to carefully check the terminology as the data pulled from the term base is inconsistent. The same applies to the find replace feature which can work great.

    • Fully equipped - the ProWritingAid tool gives you almost all the writing control you could ever need or want.
    • Ease of use - The ProWritingAid app has an intuitive dashboard and all the features and functionalities listed on the top bar. This writing assistant for online users offers you a great way to improve the content in just a few minutes.
    • Price: Compared to other online editing programs with grammar checkers like Grammarly, Ginger. ProWritingAid Premium is only $ 60 a year, which is affordable for most people.
    • Integrate Scrivener and Google docs - We've been waiting for this for a long time. Especially those who use Scrivener. Gdocs is not supported, yet the ProWritingAid fix on your text within your document makes it easier for you.
    • Style Editor - Comes with an attractive writing and editing tool.

    Cons
    Phrase
    • In the case of EN to JA translation, we enter text and then convert it to get the correct final text (word or phrase) which uses correct Chinese character(s), as there are often multiple Chinese characters with the same reading but different meanings. When those conversion options are displayed, it is usually possible to change our selection among them by hitting the Tab key, but in Phrase, hitting the Tab key makes us leave the text conversion and move to the source segment, so we must make sure to use arrow keys to choose the right conversion option when using Phrase.
    • When there are tag elements used in the source text, the tags must exist in the target text of course, but the tag order also must be the same. The tags cannot be moved around in the segment, which causes problems in the case of the Japanese language, because the word order differs between EN and JA.
    • In the Japanese language, Italics are basically not used, so there must be no texts between the tags which specify Italic font. But then the segment cannot be confirmed and the job status cannot be changed to "Complete".

    • One of the websites I visit has troubles with the addon.
    • Another typical issue is that some of the "correction lines" that appear under the text do not match.
    • The only drawback is that in order to get good content, you must copy and paste it into a new document in My Home for ProWritingAid.

    I use and manage an Academic edition (approx. 15 students) and the corporate license (10 users). In both cases, the features are easy to find, set and use. My students and my translators understand the dynamics of the platform easily and get used to them quickly.

    Usability
    Phrase
    It is designed to be a lean system, but that means that things are clustered in weird groups and a lot of trial and error is involved getting the settings right. If something goes wrong first level support is very quick and has very fast answers which are quite typical of first level support and essentially equate to asking you if you have switched it off and on yet. Anything more involved is challenging for support to address.

    Phrase
    We rarely use support, but most questions were answered in a timely fashion, although we didn't exactly find them satisfactory. That's mostly the fault of the software and not the Support team because we asked for things that Phrase couldn't do.

    Phrase has a very good user interface that people can quickly learn and start using. Also, its analysis features are top class which helps me provide a detailed estimate to my client based on the file particulars. It has a QA feature that helps me do a very high-quality check before I send out my translation to the client.

    • ProWritingAid is perfect if you have words that you use regularly that are not correct words, such as brand names, slang, or abbreviations. It is not necessary to correct each of these errors, just by clicking on "add to dictionary" ProWritingAid reminds that that word has to pass.
