It's a very nice, fast and practical tool for translating certain patterns, but if your job is professional, you may not find some languages in the app. Many more languages should be added to the application. And many times if you are using the voice command feature, you cannot understand it properly. You have to check again.

We also tried Memsource but it was lacking in terms of overall user experience and ease of use. Assigning projects in SmartCAT is a much more intuitive experience, plus it has all these other additional features that are absent from Memsource (like payment solution for freelancers). On top of that, the SmartCAT is absolutely free to use.
