Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I am undertaking a subtitling project for a company. They have their website and I have some previous transcriptions for them. This is subtitling in English. No other languages involved.

What I want to do is I want to use a CAT tool or some addons with Word or even a stand-alone professional (paid or not, does not matter) software so that I can get suggestions on the words I wrote that are probably wrong but close to some product names or technical terms they use. These product names and technical names can be loaded from my previous works or (even better) from that company's website.

Is there anything that can help me? Do you have any suggestions?

Can I utilise SDL Trados 2017 in anyway for this?

Thanks in advance for your time and information

-- Edit: Just to clarify my concern is regarding the transcription actually rather than subtitling itself as I need to provide a transcription as well.
