An Empirical Investigation into Advantages and Disadvantages of Selected CAT Tools – a Freelance Perspective

This article gives an overview of advantages and disadvantages of computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, in particular translation memories (TMs) as their main component, and then makes a thorough comparison of two freely available online services. The services used are Google Translator Toolkit (GTT) and Smartcat. A case study is conducted in the field of Computer Science measuring translation time per word with respect to the number and size of additional resources used, and, at the same time, making the effects of the so-called human factors negligible. The services are evaluated from a freelance perspective based on a list of shared and distinctive features and a pairwise comparison of non- functional criteria is made
