Get the benefits without the pain
Above all, Felix is designed to be easy to use. Computer aided translation (CAT) has a (somewhat deserved) reputation for being hard to use and not very user friendly. The developer of Felix is a professional translator, and developed Felix out of frustration with existing tools. Every feature of Felix is designed with the translator in mind, in order to make the program as simple and intuitive as possible.
One example is the user interface: as much as possible, Felix allows you to work right from Microsoft® Office, which professional translators commonly use for their translation work.
Many Felix users find it to be the most user-friendly TM tool in existence.
I have been using [Felix] for several years and find it to be the best CAT tool out there...

How Felix works
Often, the documents we translate contain repeated sentences. It's tedious and time consuming to translate these from scratch every time. We may also need to use glossaries, either to ensure consistency in the document or adhere to the client's terminology list.
This is where Felix comes in. Felix keeps a "memory" of each sentence (or "segment") that you translate. When you translate another sentence that is identical or very similar to one you've translated before, Felix suggests your previous translation.

Automatic glossary searches
The Felix automatic glossary search feature is another way to boost your productivity and consistency. Once a term goes into your glossary, you'll never have to look it up again. Every time that word appears in your document, Felix will automatically look it up and display its translation.
Glossary functionality is fully integrated into Felix and is included in the main program at no extra cost.
You can build glossaries as you work, as well as import glossaries in Microsoft® Excel and Multiterm format.
