CATCount is an extremely useful software tool for translation industry professionals. It greatly eases task of accounting of Computer Assisted Translation jobs.
CATCount converts the number of repetitions, 100%, fuzzies and no matches into a single weighted number taking into account your discount grid(s). Additionally, it provides great features for printing and export of used CAT Scheme together with original word counts, and resulting CATCount. Word count analysis logs of Trados Translator's Workbench are processed automatically.
Because while regular distribution of word count 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.
