CATCount: Computer Assisted Translation
-
Version
1.0
CATCount is useful software tool for translation
industry professionals. It greatly eases task of
accounting of Computer Assisted Translation jobs.
CATCount does this by translating complex CAT Scheme
into one easy number, i.e. CATCount. Additionally, it
provides great features for printing and export of
used CAT Scheme together with original wordcounts, and
resulting CATCount. Wordcount analysis logs of Trados®
Translator’s Workbench are processed automatically.
The very concept of using single number is not new,
and has been used extensively by many translation
agencies worldwide under various names: leveraged
wordcount, weighted wordcount, equivalent wordcount,
etc. Because while regular distribution of wordcount
information distinct categories by CAT Tools (Trados,
SDLX, Deja Vu, Star Transit) is useful for analysis in
general, it is not very comfortable for accounting.
CATCount takes the solution to the problem to the next
level by providing easy interface, which can be shared
between translation agencies and freelance
translators, and within translator teams.
