We
asked our experienced users to list which of Déjà Vu's outstanding features
they liked best. This is a summary of what they had to say:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Unmatched customer support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Free
life-time support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Quick,
positive response to users' suggestions for new features or refinements:
e.g., 'Scan with wildcards' was requested in the DEJAVU-L eGroup, and was
implemented within a few days.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
We
enjoy advising users on how to organize a 2-million word project, on
which SQL command to use for special maintenance operations on their
databases, or on how to import glossaries in uncommon formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Continuous
development to meet new market challenges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Liberal
upgrade policy: e.g., no charges for upgrading from version 2 to 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Ergonomic environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
There's
no annoying word processor to get in your way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Embedded
codes isolate you from formatting issues and let you concentrate on what
you have to translate: text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Integration,
in one single interface, of the widest range of external formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
'All
files in one file': a single project can contain an unlimited number of
files, and with Déjà Vu you can browse them together. Projects with
thousands of files are not uncommon. Can you imagine performing a search
and replace operation on 1000 HTML files in your word processor?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Project management
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Multi-language,
multi-translator projects which make working in a group an easy task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Satellite
projects which are easily distributable to freelance translators over the
Internet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Project
coordinators can set access rights to individual translators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. All-in-one package - no need to purchase separate
modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•

Vu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

9. Be part of a virtual community that shares knowledge on
new developments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
The
DEJAVU-L eGroup is a large community of Déjà Vu users which routinely
share tips and knowledge with each other. For example, one of our users
wrote a report on how to use Dragon Dictate with Déjà Vu, which was
immediately shared with the rest of the community.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
