Greetings everyone

I've been using DVX3 for a while now but I'm still having some questions regarding its functionality.
The main issue is that Deja can't "see" terms inside of words. I guess that sounds confusing, so here's and example.

I put term "ward" into Terminology database. Then I encounter word "award" but DVX3 can't see a match in this case (and that would be great in most of the cases since these are different words, but I NEED it to find such matches... See more

MemoQ and Trados work fine in such situations, but I prefer to work with DVX3.

Could you help me please? Any advices on how to make it work that way?

You need to switch on fuzzy recognition for termbases. You can then also adjust the percentage.

prefix matching supported? May 16, 2017

I am not sure about it, but I think prefix matching is not supported.

If "migration" is in TB, then it will find migrations, migrational, migrationist, migrator but not immigration. Prefix matching is essential in some languages.

Just read yr suggested Idea over @ https://dejavu.uservoice.com/forums/111241-déjà-vu-ideas/suggestions/19293718-prefix-matching-for-terms-in-asr … and realised I might not have been entirely correct there. Indeed, I don't think DVX's fuzziness includes prefix matching.

Many years in the making May 16, 2017

Several years ago, someone from Atril told me that they would soon implement a solution better than memoQ's, which wouldn't require the use of asterisks (*) or pipes (|). I suppose it is still in the making and it will be one of the "mind-blowing" features that will come "soon" and that even Atril's community manager doesn't know yet.
