What it is

memoQ is the second major desktop CAT tool — closes the localization-vendor list. Subtitle handoff workflows fit cleanly into project structure.

Best for: Localization studios that prefer memoQ over Trados — subtitle workflows fit the same pipeline.
Watch out for: Windows-only client; web companion exists but feature-limited. Smaller market share than Trados.
