Translator's Workstation: CAT (computer-assisted translation) tool with Translation Memory & Integrated Terminology Management
for Windows 95 (and higher) and Windows NT
Now Version 2
Ecco has been developed by a professional translator over a number of years
to streamline working and improve translation quality. Now you
can enjoy the same benefits, including:
- Text processing functions geared specifically to translation
- Greater consistency
- No more missed sentences or paragraphs!
- Ecco is great for repetitive texts - but with its Dictionary and text expansion macro features it's great for non-repetitive texts, too!

Here are just a few of Ecco's features:
- Full-featured text editor with parallel text display (Source
and Translation side by side).

Translation/Source.

- Create separate dictionaries for each language-subject
combination..
- Terms in your dictionaries are looked up automatically.

Translation).
- One-keystroke number copying, or automatic copying of numbers (and codes).
