How can I use Smart Review with Trados Studio 2024

Hello,

I am a freelance translator and I use Trados Studio 2024 Freelance version.

I pre-translate my texts with the ModernMT plug-in, and I would like to carry out post-editing using another AI solution. I am considering Smart Review, which I saw in a demo and which seemed to be the ideal solution for this purpose.

Could you please let me know how to purchase and activate Smart Review? Is it necessary to install new software such as Trados Accelerate? Or is it a plug-in integrated into Trados Studio that can be activated through a paid subscription? I have not been able to find any information about this on your website.

I assume that Smart Review is available to freelance translators, given that the vast majority of translation companies and agencies outsource post-editing to freelancers. It would make little sense if this tool were not accessible to independent translators.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I have been using Trados Studio for many years and I am reluctant to switch to another software solution that would require starting from scratch and losing the expertise I have built up. However, in the current context, it seems essential to use one AI solution for pre-translation and another for post-editing. I would greatly appreciate your advice on this matter.

    Hello Sven,  

    Thank you for your detailed inquiry about using Smart Review with Trados Studio 2024! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to purchase and activate Smart Review:  

    **Step 1:** **Check Availability**  

    Smart Review is part of the AI Essentials add-on, which is available for Team, Accelerate, and Enterprise users. As a freelance translator using Trados Studio 2024, you will be able to use Smart Review if your client has the AI Essentials add-on enabled in their subscription.  

    **Step 2:** **Download the Smart Review App**  

    To use Smart Review, you need to download the Trados Copilot – Smart Review app from the RWS AppStore. This app integrates with your Trados Studio and allows you to evaluate translation quality on a segment-by-segment basis.  

    **Step 3:** **Subscription and Activation**  

    If you want to use Smart Review independently, you may need to check if you can purchase the AI Essentials add-on directly. This may involve a subscription model, so ensure you have the necessary account set up.  

    **Step 4:** **Installation**  

    Once you have downloaded the Smart Review app, follow the installation prompts. You do not need to install additional software like Trados Accelerate unless you are using features specific to that platform.  

    **Step 5:** **Using Smart Review**  

    After installation, you can access Smart Review in the online editor or desktop editor. You can choose to evaluate segments automatically or manually, checking the evaluation scores and suggestions provided.  

    **Step 6:** **Explore Further**  

    For more detailed information, I recommend checking the RWS AppStore or the Trados Studio 2024 Help system, which can provide additional insights into using Smart Review effectively.
