Thank you for the event, the presentation was amazing as usual, but will have to check it out again... I really enjoy everything on proz!

I found the conference very useful, especially for those (like me) that are learning the ropes on CAT tools. Like a colleague has already said, I will review the videos, as the info was overwhelming. I'm happy to be on Proz.com and being able to attend these sessions (and free, which is important for freelancers ;) ) Thank you.

Time From To Content
10:04 May 28, 2014 Irene Valente: 1718503 All I want to be here with you.
10:04 May 28, 2014 Irene Valente: 1718503 All And learn.
10:05 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Roberto: No, these tools were spawned on the web, memoQ is primarily a desktop tool (and I think more powerful in its flexibility this way).
10:05 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All You are welcome, Roberto! You can try the cloud for 1 euro for a month if you register on Language Terminal.
10:05 May 28, 2014 Irene Valente: 1718503 All It was! Indeed. There are so many colleagues interested in.
10:05 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All Have you released any version within last 60 days?
10:05 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Thanks, Irene!
10:05 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Irene, do you already have a profile there? :)
10:06 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Ali: No, but we will release a new version in the next 30 days :)
10:06 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All @Ali, no, not yet. memoQ 2014 will be released in June
10:06 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All You can check the presentation during the evening, it's very powerful.
10:06 May 28, 2014 Irene Valente: 1718503 All No. Not yet. Today after this meeting.
10:06 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All Sure, desktop tools are currently much more powerful and allow faster and easier conectivity with other powerful tools. But the future is a different matter altogether...
10:06 May 28, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All If you buy at http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/614/sales you get 1 year of free support/upgrades and would be eligible for the new 2014 version for free when released in June
10:08 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Roberto: I'm happy to share my views on that. You are actually right, I see a future in web, but on the other hand, workflows must be simplified. There is a lot of legacy in the world that the web...
10:08 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All ... cannot handle efficiently.
10:08 May 28, 2014 Nelia Fahloun (X): 1070099 All And paying for maintenance/support every year is really a good option, as you get the most recent versions. MemoQ 2013 and 2013 R2 brought a lot of great new features.
10:08 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All I hope you are watching the presentation now, the templates are my favourite feature :)
10:08 May 28, 2014 Nelia Fahloun (X): 1070099 All And the 2014 version promises to be very good - it is really worth supporting the development
10:08 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Thanks, Nelia! We are always trying hard to make things relevant :)
10:08 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All Going to another presentation. Thanks Itsván
10:09 May 28, 2014 Ekaterina Yakushcheva: 665820 All Hi everyone! Drew, do I have to join the TGB to buy MemoQ now?
10:09 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All You are welcome, Roberto, and enjoy it!
10:09 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Ekaterina, yes, please.
10:09 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I am used to use 1 tm for all projects. So my TM contains a lot of entries and I have some problems with other tools in reaction time. How about MemoQ? How fast is it with TMs more than 2 mil units?
