In the years since the software was first presented, it has grown in popularity^{[9][10][11][12]} and is now among the most frequent TEnT applications used for translation (it was rated as the third most used CAT^[13] tool in a Proz.com study in 2013 and as the second most widely used tool in a June 2010 survey of 458 working translators^[14]), after SDL Trados, Wordfast, Déjà Vu, OmegaT and others. Today it is available in desktop versions for translators (Translator Pro edition^[15]), and project managers (Project Manager edition^[16]), as well as site-installed and hosted server applications^[17][18] offering integration with the desktop versions and a web browser interface.^[19] There are currently several active online forums in which users provide each other with independent advice and support on the software's functions, as well as many online tutorials created by professional trainers and active users.^[20][21] Before its commercial debut, a version of memoQ (2.0) was distributed as postcardware.^[22]
