Edit distance statistics can measure the work of a reviewer: It shows how much the translator's work had to be corrected. memoQ can calculate these automatically in a project that is created from a project template.

Only delivered documents and confirmed segments: The edit distance report gives you numbers for the entire project. But it runs on those documents only that were delivered, and on segments that were confirmed.

Works in online projects only: memoQ doesn't run edit distance statistics in local projects that were created from the project template.

To learn more: See the topic about creating an edit distance report manually.
