Cat Tool For Mac
From Black Cat Systems:
Black Cat CW Keyer lets you send morse code from your computer. You can type out the text to be sent (immediately or buffered) as well as create and send from one key macros. Making it incredibly easy to send CQs. It's also a great tool for contesting!
You can select both the speed (WPM) and pitch/tone (Hz) of the morse code to be sent.
Text you type can either be immediately sent, or buffered and sent when you hit retrun.
You can define dozens of macros, allowing long strings of text to be quickly and easily sent, just type the keystroke representing that macro. Great for calling CQ, or for contesting.

The Microsoft Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) was removed from the Microsoft Download Center on June 11, 2018. The Outlook scanning functionality of OffCAT is available in the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365 (SaRA) tool. Wordfast Classic (WFC) is a CAT tool designed as a Microsoft Word™ add-on. Its lightweight, flexible structure makes it easy to install and use.

Hello all,
I know that, from time to time, CAT tools for Macs have been discussed here. As some of these discussions seem to be a few years old, I thought I'd ask your views on the subject.
I've been working as a freelance translator for different agencies and companies for a while without a CAT tool. So far, my projects have been rather varied and relatively small, so I haven't felt the need to get a CAT tool. However, now it seems that the time has come to get a Trado... See more

Hello all,

I've been working as a freelance translator for different agencies and companies for a while without a CAT tool. So far, my projects have been rather varied and relatively small, so I haven't felt the need to get a CAT tool. However, now it seems that the time has come to get a Trados-compatible CAT tool of some sort. I'm familiar with Trados Studio 2011, as this is a tool I used during an internship, but Trados is not an option.
I have a macbook (Mac OS X 10.6.8) and Microsoft Office. I don't have the capacity (or the inclination, to be honest) to run Parallels on my laptop or to buy/get Windows. Buying another laptop + expensive software is also not really an option at the moment. From what I've read, my best bets seem to be CafeTran, WordFast Anywhere or OmegaT. Especially CafeTran looks good (and I was an Ubuntu user for three years, so I'm relatively comfortable with community support etc., even if I don't want to go back to Linux).
In your opinion, which one of the above works best? Are they all compatible with Trados/MemoQ? In your experience, are some of them more/less popular with agencies?
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I look forward to your comments
Best,
