I've sent them my first request for feature. [/quote]
I bought an AlignFactory Light license in 2016 in a flush of youthful (?) enthusiasm. Although it was streets ahead of the aligner in Trados the AlignFactory UI was still quirky (why doesn't it remember font settings?!) and the results still needed considerable tweaking for my pair.
Anyway, I have not needed to do any significant aligning for clients (same situation as Stepan, in that sense) and the process was not efficient enough to encourage me to create my own TMs from scratch using this approach. I haven't used it for years and I don't think I even have it installed currently. Maybe I should give it another try.
Also, I found the company - Terminotix, which I think is very small - unresponsive to any but the most basic of requests. Development seemed to be proceeding so slowly as to be imperceptible.
One upgrade in eight years isn't much given the initial high price one is required to pay, and from the screenshots nothing much appears to have changed.
Regards,
Dan
