Default specialization for clients
Do you know of a way to set a default specialization for a client?
It should be pre-selected whenever you create a project for that specific client.

Exporting margin per language
Hi,
SInce the question about the word count was answered in a great way. I have a similar question for the margin. (We are using smart projects)
Would it be possible to create a VC on job level to get the margin for that language combination? This would help us checking the jobs.
Currently we report on margin on project level as a workaround.
How to modify "Client" field when project has already been created
A project has been created and a wrong Client has been associated to the project.
Is there a way to modify the "Client" when the project has been created?
Time required to vet new vendor's profile?
I'm finding that it takes much longer than I expected to vet each individual new vendor's profile - this includes checking rates for services, viewing the attached resume/CV, looking up the vendor's professional website/LinkedIn profile, contacting references, etc. How long does it usually take VMs to vet vendors? Which sections do you make sure to view versus ignore until needed later, when the vendor is already working with you?
actual start date for projects from quotes with jobs that are ready
Hi,
I have a question regarding the actual start date for a project that was started from a quote.
The current situation is: We receive a rfq, whe create a quote and some jobs in the process (file preparation jobs) need to be completed before we can do a wordcount and give the customer a price. So far so good. But when this client accepts this quote and places the order 5 days later. The project is created and the actual start date for that project is 5 days earlier.
Shouldn't this date be the date that the customer places the order, or even better the date that the first action in the project is performed after the order is placed?
Regards,
Robrecht
File Categories
We have some projects that don't work well with the available XTRF file categories:
Some examples are transcription projects, voiceover projects, and subtitling projects. It would be great to have the option to edit these, but we don't. Does anyone else deal with projects that don't fit these file types? Do you use the "Other" category frequently?
Thanks!

XML Invoices
Hello,
is anyone dealing with XML invoices?
Currently it is not posible to export XML invoices from XTRF and from 2024 electronic invoicing will be compulsory in many european countries.
Can someone share knowledge about this?
Thanks

Anyone is using OCR (or something similiar) to count words of a document?
Hi!
I am trying to research potential OCR, or to be exact, a software that would be able to count the words from as many formats as possible and give the results back.
The requirement would be that this software needs to be secure and have API. We are looking to speed up the quoting process by simply getting a rough total word count. We would like to use memoQ only for actual production.
The amount of information available for this topic through google is both too big and too narrow. Maybe you have had a similar need or something like this has caught your eye in the past
