I created a custom data field in TO3000 under Settings > Advanced > Custom Fields > Jobs, and each time I complete a job and enter it in TO3000, I try to remember to tag it with a subject. This allows me to see at a glance what I spent most of my year doing, etc. Basically a fun way to waste some time at the end the day![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/bb/smiles/icon_wink.gif) I also found this other, general list in my Google Keep snippet library: ABBREVIATIONS ACADEMIC ACCOUNTING ADVERTISING AND MARKETING AERODYNAMICS AEROSPACE ANIMALS ANNUAL REPORTS ARCHITECTURE AND HEALTH CARE ART ART HISTORY ASYLUM AUDIT REPORTS AUTOMATION AUTOMOTIVE BANKING AND FINANCE BATHROOM FURNITURE BIOLOGY BUILDING BUSINESS BUSINESS LETTERS CIVIL ENGINEERING CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEMS CLIMATE SOLUTIONS COMPUTERS & IT CONSTRUCTION CORPORATE IDENTITY / PR CRIMINAL LAW DIAMONDS ECONOMICS EDUCATION ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ELECTRONICS ENERGY ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF HOMES ENVIRONMENT EU FLOORING FINANCE FIREFIGHTING FOOD GAMING GENERAL GEOMETRY GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING GRAMMAR HOLIDAYS HOT AIR BALLOONS HOTEL, CATERING & TOURISM HR HYDROLOGY HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING INDUSTRIAL CLEANING EQUIPMENT INSURANCE IT JOB DESCRIPTIONS LEGAL LINGUISTICS LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY LOGISTICS MACHINES AND MACHINE PARTS MANAGEMENT MANUFACTURING MARKETING MARKET RESEARCH MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MEDICAL MEDICAL AND SAFETY TECHNOLOGY METAL INDUSTRY METEOROLOGY MILITARY MINERALOGY MINING MUSIC ONLINE SECURITY PAPER INDUSTRY PATENTS PAYROLL + HR ADMINISTRATION PETROCHEMICAL PHOTOGRAPHY PHYSICS POLITICS PRINTING & GRAPHICS INDUSTRY PROPERTY PSYCHOLOGY QUESTIONNAIRES RAILWAY RECRUITMENT & EMPLOYMENT RELIGION ROOFING SAFETY SANITARY SECONDMENT SHIPBUILDING SHIPPING SLAs SOCIAL PROTECTION SOCIOLOGY SOFTWARE STATISTICS STOCK EXCHANGE SURVEYS TAXES TECHNICAL TELECOM TENDERS TEXTILE THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS TOURISM TRAFFIC TRAVEL USER MANUAL TRANSPORT WASTE MANAGEMENT ZOOLOGY | | | Wojciech_ (X) Poland Local time: 01:52 English to Polish + ... Autosuggest vs Autowrite | Oct 31, 2016 |

The only reason for me to consider buying the Workgroup version would be to handle the so-called "satellite projects" in a better way by being able to split segments which one of my clients fails to do so (two, three or even more sentences are put / joined into one segment just by his carelessness or done so by his CMS). Exported XLF files would not substitute sdlxliff files, but you can easily process sdlxliff files anyway in DV. And, Michael, don´t forget to test the marvellous AutoWrite function! Forget about "AutoSuggest" (Stupidio) or "Muses" (memoCow)... Am testing AutoWrite, which has been great so far. I must say, btw, that the one in the latest versions of Studio is very, very good, not sure about memoQ because, as I've said elsewhere, I can never get Predictive Typing to work when Dragon is switched on, which it always is on my computer. I do have one question already about DVX's AutoWrite system. In SDL Studio, there is this cool thing called MT auto-suggest (it used to be an SDL app, but is now built in), which DVX also has: basically, the tool takes stuff from MT and feeds it to the AutoWrite/AutoSuggest system. Now, one thing I would like DVX3 to do is suggest both longer phrases from MT, plus shorter bits. So, for example, AutoWrite might suggest: "In SDL Studio, there is this cool thing called MT auto-suggest" However, sometimes I just want to take individual words from MT, so I might want to type just grab "SDL Studio" from the above sentence, but can't seem to get the DVX3 AutoWrite system to give me just that, whereas SDL Studio's AutoSuggest system does seem to do so. Or am I missing something? I just tested it again, and it sometimes works in DVX3, but not as much as I wish it would. Meaning: I wish it would consistently offer me entire phrases, plus all of the individual words in these phrases. Hmm, or would this produce too much noise? [Edited at 2016-10-27 09:13 GMT] Studio's Autosuggest is slightly more superior to Autowrite, if only because the chunks from MT are always logical phrases or sentences. In Autowrite you are sometimes proposed one word after a comma (eg. That is why, he), which may be a bit annoying. Additionally, there's no solution to automatically suggest proper nouns and numbers, unless you first enter them to the Lexicon (too tedious IMHO). But overall, Autowrite is one of the best systems of this type next to Studio's Autosuggest and Wordfast Classic's Autocomplete. | | | Michael Beijer United Kingdom Local time: 00:52 Member (2009) Dutch to English + ... TOPIC STARTER hmm, just noticed that "Quick Add to Termbase" doesn't auto-add metadata :-( | Oct 31, 2016 |
Is there any way to force it to do so? I actually like it to automatically add any Subject and Client fields, but not necessarily the context. | |

I'm also still getting used to it, so it might be slightly better than I currently think it is. | | | Michael Beijer United Kingdom Local time: 00:52 Member (2009) Dutch to English + ... TOPIC STARTER How to only save last version of TUs in translation memories? | Oct 31, 2016 |

Michael Joseph Wdowiak Beijer wrote: Is there any way to create a translation memory so that it only saves the last version of a TU? My translation memories seem to be saving them all. Michael Translate as usual, that is use ctrl+down arrow in each segment. When the final version is ready, use "Add to Translation Memory", that will update al pairs. 1. That will not update any segment parts (fragments?) sent to TM by F12 but only the pairs sent by by ctrl+down arrow. 2. When I finish a project, I do the following: a. Open the TM and delete all pairs from that project (you can use a project/temporary TM as well) b. Open the project and use SQL commands to edit project ownernick and user details and lastmodified date. c. And then "Add to Translation Memory" d. This helps to store segments in natural order See details in Help file, Sending Information to the Translation Memory. I "store segment context information to enable Guaranteed Matches."

How about this: on finalizing your project, also run an SQL command to set Subject and Client for all term base entries after the starting date of your project. Of course you'll be running into problems if you handle several projects "simultaneously". | |

How does autosuggest/write work with dragon (in dvx and other CAT tools)? You start saying a word and a suggestion pops up as you're speaking? Just interested. Olly | |

Olly Sorry for the misunderstanding! You can't actually trigger autosuggest/write by voice. What I meant was: if you have Dragon switched on when using memoQ, while simultaneously having Predictive Typing switched on, memoQ will slow down to a crawl. It's a bug. Auto suggest in studio, however, works just fine with Dragon switched on. However, studio doesn't offer ‘full text control’ (i.e., the ability to select and correct words by voice). In DVX3, by contrast: everything works: you get 100% ‘full text control’, and can still use AutoSuggest. | | | triggering autosuggest | Nov 3, 2016 |

But if you can't trigger autosuggest by voice, how DO you use it with Dragon?
