Forum: CAT Tools Technical Help
Topic: CATCount revisited (and rebuilt)
Poster: Hans Lenting
I totally had forgotten about CATCount. After reading the excellent blog post about converting an Excel worksheet to a Trados termbase, I decided to have a look at the post How to perform word counts and interpret them. And there I found an old acquaintance: CATCount.

(I know that Trados now has additional Match Types ...)
You can download the Excel file here, if you want to take a look.

Q 2: Is the concept of 'weighted' words used by your clients?
