What do you like best about Smartcat?

Quick to get started but again that might be a bane than a boon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

The console is not user friendly and the platform is very non transparent. The smartword usage is not clear with 5 different numbers showing in different parts of console with no clear definition. You can definitely expect to run into billing issues if you are working within a tight budget.

Not clear and transparent with how and where your smartwords got consumed and therefore you would quickly exhaust smartwords and need to upgrade or are forced to live with broken customer experience for your product.

Support would not give you a timely response but sales would simply ask you to upgrade.

You need to make code level changes to accomplish not translating certain phrases and also the formatting gets quite broken for certain translations.

The plans look more affordable than competitors but the catch is smartwords are not really smart. The same phrase gets counted repeatedly across multiple pages and they do not mention this clearly anywhere.

Stay away. There are better solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

Splitting documents into segments makes it easy to deal with the projects. Responsible Customer Support. Once the buyer makes payment I get paid to my wallet within one or two days. No, need to follow up with customer about payment, they do it all on my behalf, I just accept projects, complete projects and wait for the rest from Smartcat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

If there is little change you have to go through out the segments. I suggest that they can add a "Replace" function like in microsoft word so that when I want to replace a certain words in the document I can just go to Replace and it changes the word throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Through the tool I am also more productive because I can even import documents and manage easily over the system and then download.

I don't have to worry about formatting, the tool makes the same format as the original document when you download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

Honestly, it was and still is a tool that streamlines the translation processes we request in the company. The translations are fast and 99% accurate because the remaining 1% is a literal translation that can be fixed in the same Software, which the AI will remember and use in future translations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

Sometimes, the Software indicates that its engines are overloaded after starting translations. I want to think that many people are using the software, and of course, it's not bad. However, they make translations take longer than an hour to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can list a lot of situations.

- Translation of 700K words in three months. Took about 1-2 minutes to translate each file.

- Manually, we had to translate between 5 to 8 slides in PowerPoint. In the worst case, from 20 to 41, however, the tool made it possible in 1 minute.

- Manually, we had to translate flowcharts and operation sheets in Excel. The diagrams took about 40 minutes. It was a long process, but SmartCat translated the work that would take us a week into a day in less than a minute.

- In one day, we manually translated between 20 to 25 files, both PP and Excel and Word, on some occasions. What did SmartCat do? It tripled that number.

- Thanks to our saved time, we concluded the certifications with days to spare, allowing us to start with other projects.

- Engineers choose to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
