For me, this must have been in the second half of 2010.

During the first lockdown April or May 2020.

But it was more or less at the same time than you, Hans.

My learning experience was all done by trial and error because there is no comprehensible, comprehensive manual - all I found were a few YouTube videos spoken by someone whose foreign (German?) accent was so thick that they were impossible to watch. So I just jumped in and, mercifully, CafeTran is quite Mac-like (i.e. intuitive) so I was quickly able to integrate it into my workflow. But I'm still finding out things about it. I think it's great.

Actually I'm Dutch, but thank you.
I discussed your previous comment on this yesterday with 2 Proz staff members. One native speaker, who lives in London, assured me that my Anglais was perfectly acceptable.
Others, via PM, assured me that you are from Ireland and have quite an accent yourself.
So ... can we put this to rest now?

I can see no reason to assume that one of the people in those videos was you.
I have no accent when I speak a foreign language (e.g. Italian). So I'm glad we've put that to rest.
More to the point: why are you asking CT users to say when they started using it? Is this a survey?

Can you?
I think I started a bit after you. I still remember the good ol' days, when there were still two Hanses: Good Hans & Evil Hans 😁

You may have mastered perfect speech, but you have a very heavy accent when writing, Tom.
