Home » Compare Comparing Wordfast Pro 5 and Kaplan Desktop Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Wordfast Pro 5 | Kaplan Desktop | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | Huge time saver Wordfast Pro 5 is a standalone CAT tool that is compatible in my experience with Word, Powerpoint, InDesign and most other office software programs.
I work on a mac system and it is perfectly compatible.
I also need to use Trados for one client, but consistently use Wordfast Pro 5 for all others because of how easy and practical it is.
Highly recommended! And a training session to get you started is also highly recommended, to get the most out of it. 5 out of 5 found this review helpful.
