Hi Hans. I find that Star is falling behind the other players in the market. MemoQ, Trados, Wordfast Pro, etc. are adding new features at a much faster pace than Star for Transit NXT. Things like: - the ability to export a bilingual Word doc to a proofreader who edits the translation, and then import the edited doc back into Transit, accepting or rejecting the corrections - the ability to share a project (the TM/language pairs, TermStar dictionary) on a Web server so two or more independent translators can work on it simultaneously - support for using corpora as reference material - support for Linport (see www.linport.org) - including advanced filters (InDesign, FrameMaker...) for free, or for much lower prices. Many competing products (Déjà Vu, MemoQ) include these filters at no additional cost - support for MS Spell check - open architecture enabling third parties to develop add-ins (like Trados OpenExchange) ... I hope they pick up the pace soon... Ben | | | Gyula Erdesz Hungary Local time: 09:18 Member (2009) English to Hungarian + ... Could not agree more | May 3, 2012 |

In my opinion, Transit lost its momentum in the last few years and now they are simply not on a par with the leading CAT tool developers. Once I tried to share my opinion with Hans ( http://www.proz.com/forum/transit_support/217442-weak_points_of_transit_nxt.html ), but I am afraid he is too biased to see this clear tendency. Gyula | |

Hi all, Just adding my two cents' worth. Is this the right place to ask? Do we know whether anyone at STAR follows this forum (or lurks without posting?) I've been told that they may be following the Yahoo Transit forum too. Can anyone confirm? It would be nice to have some two-way communication with someone at STAR (customer care and all that). I can understand that they give priority to customers who have a software support contract, but they could "push ... See more Hi all, Just adding my two cents' worth. Is this the right place to ask?

It is my experience that this kind of questions isn't answered sooner when you have a support contract. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » New features for Transit NXT?
