Easy to start, a friendly UI, all necessary features, easy to collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

Often downtimes; impossible to delete a language from a project (you can add languages as you go, but not delete); already confirmed files can change and become unconfirmed because of changes in other files; excessive notifications when your Smartwords limit is near; comment notifications don't include the comment itself, only the link to the segment.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Smartcat?

Smartcat is an excellent free CAT tool that one can use without a steep learning curve as those needed when switching from one tool to another. Its interface is simple, easy to use and it's FREE (there is a paid version but one can use it only with free features and it's sufficient for freelancers). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

No really downsides just that the free version provides only an MT that needs confirmation after each line is translated. But that might be considered even a feature because this way you are constrained to check every line. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work a lot with xliff files and for that smartcat is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an efficient tool that facilitates translation in multiple language pairs. Compared to other such tools, the quality of the proposed translation is high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

There is, of course, room for improvement in custom translation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Smartcat makes translation less time-consuming by instantly offering accurate translations of terms. It can, therefore, boost productivity and business performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

SmartCat is an amazing free CAT tool. It accepts many file formats and allows you to create your own TMs or use TMs from other programs, such as SDL Trados, as long as they are in TMX or SDLTM format. You can also add other reference files, such as style guides.

Uploading multiple files in the same project allows you to finish tasks much faster, as SmartCat recognises repeated phrases across files and automatically fills in the fields as you work.

SmartCat is very easy to learn how to use, thanks to the tutorials that show up when you first start using it.

You can also create a profile, complete with your experience, portfolio, services you offer, and prices, and use the platform to find and accept translation work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

There is nothing I dislike about SmartCat. The platform does archive your projects after a while, but it's still possible to download them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SmartCat is cloud-based, so it's possible to log in and work from anywhere without needing to worry about file storage.

SmartCat is free to use, so it has no financial downside.

SmartCat has greatly improved my productivity as a translator. If you upload multiple files as one project, it is possible to work on all files at once - SmartCat recognises repeated phrases across files and prefills them as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

This is the tool to use when you have to be fast and furious about your translations! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

The only potential upside I would suggest is to make the "My tasks" main screen a bit more crisp with regards to the actual translation progress percentage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Multiple website fields translated from multiple sources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

When I upload my files, I can instantly have Machine Translation and then edit the MT to finish my documents. Recently, they started to give OCR services. Smartcat is a great assisting tool for all translators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

I can't edit the source document directly on Smartcat. This would allow me to fix wrong segmentations more quickly. Also, it would be great to have Machine Translation options, such as Google, Yandex, and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartcat:

If you are between Trados, MemoQ, and Smartcat, you must choose Smartcat. It is so much more user-friendly and fast. However, If you don't have online access all the time, it may be better to choose others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is great when translating documents that have a lot of repeating parts. You translate once and all you have to do is press ctrl+1 and continue. It makes translation workflow much quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

SmartCat is an excellent CAT tool and, of course, a platform for various translators. I like the way SmartCat is. The best of all about SmartCat is very convenient for its system linking the clients and the freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

The thing that makes me a little upset is that there's a little crowd in SmartCat. I hope for many clients and projects in the future! Also, I can't find many projects like other freelancing platforms like Upwork or Freelancer.com. I Hope SmartCat can dig us many projects soon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartcat:

I do recommend, if you're considering using SmartCat for your freelancing path, "The SmartCat, the fantastic CAT" for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm only solving the problem, payment, which our less developing countries are facing. But currently, having Payoneer in SmartCat is very convenient for me. I hope it can support PayPal too in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
