Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Ambiguity and clarity detection is exactly what I needed, and identifies issues early, reducing expensive downstream fixes. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is integration with translation workflows — handled better than most — and identifies issues early, reducing expensive downstream fixes. Worth the time if this is your use case.

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is customizable rule sets — handled better than most — and helps lower overall translation costs. Requires upfront integration into existing workflows is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and helps lower overall translation costs. Integration with translation workflows fits neatly into how we already work, and source text quality analysis removed a step we used to do by hand. Requires upfront integration into existing workflows, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.
