Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using Talkatoo for daily dictation" March 22, 2021 4.0 Great - I honestly wouldn't have splurged on a dictation device before, as I'm not a radiologist reading out reports. That said, it converted me for routine emails and blogs. The speed with which I can dictate an email is much faster, and now typing out a long email without Talkatoo seems tedious. Pros I recently got to try out Talkatoo, and was generally pleased with how easy it was to install and use. While I know this is directed for veterinary professionals when it comes to helping with completion of electronic medical records, I honestly don't use it for this. Most of our EMR are so templated, I didn't find myself using it for that as much as for client communication documentation and discharges. That said, I use Talkatoo WAY more for day-to-day emails and for articles, blogs, book chapters, etc. I like how you can add "MY WORDS" to make the software recognize particular wording. Cons I had some initial IT problems when I installed the Philips Precision Microphone with my sound on my iMac (for input and output), especially when I was using my Airpods, Blue Yeti mic, but was able to resolve this with their great customer support. Talkatoo's customer service was AMAZING! Review Source Response from Talkatoo April 30, 2021 Thanks so much for leaving a review! Your feedback is greatly appreciated and goes a long way in improving the product. We're happy to hear its helping you even for different use cases. Sara K. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best investment for your DVM's." January 20, 2026 5.0 Its been wonderful and has saved my dvm's time trying to complete there medical records. This an amazing app where it can be tailored to each individual. Pros The Transcription accuracy is amazing and and filters out all the unnecessary conversations. Also you can go back and listen to the recordings. Cons The amount of money depending on the number of doctors. Would love to see a feature where practice managers can use is for meetings. Alternatives considered [Scribe](https://www.capterra.com/p/252555/Scribe/) Reason for choosing Talkatoo The ease of use and all the featurea including calls. Review Source TO Tim O. Owner Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Positive Talkatoo" May 15, 2026 5.0 Very positive, it speeds my time up to maybe only 30 minutes daily with an average of 20-25 clients and patients seen daily. And customer service is very helpful and quick to respond to your needs and questions! Pros The ability to record professional notes in a short amount of time and copy and paste into my PIMS. And the response and care given through customer service! Cons Miss-spelling mostly names, but it is a computer! But, it does learn and responds better with each time you correct it. Review Source LE Larisa E. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Talkatoo Review" July 20, 2025 3.0 Goods and bags. A lot of editing post note creation, however, love ease of access and creation of notes for us Pros I did my the setup and the ease of access. Being able to have talkative make my soap a lot easier was nice as well as the fact is it creates less work for my technicians to actually input that information. Definitely can always remember parts of the conversation a lot easier based on whatever is heard in the rooms and the ability to have it or cross all computers and devices in the clinic has been really nice Cons Syncing across devices Correction of misheard words Occasional times of non-medical terminology or descriptions being placed into the soap notes that make it sound less professional Review Source CR Carrie R. Hospital Director Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent tool for improving efficiency and record accuracy" March 30, 2026 5.0 We have been using Talkatoo for about a year and it has made a meaningful difference in our workflow. Documentation is faster, more consistent, and more complete. The voice recognition adapts well to our team’s speaking styles, and the transcription accuracy is very reliable. It has helped our practice operate more efficiently while maintaining thorough and accurate medical records. We highly recommend Talkatoo for practices looking to improve productivity and streamline documentation. Pros Talkatoo has significantly increased our efficiency and improved our medical record keeping immensely over the past year. The voice recognition and transcription accuracy are excellent, even with detailed medical terminology. It saves our doctors a tremendous amount of time on documentation, allowing them to focus more on patient care. Customer support has also been very responsive and helpful whenever we have had questions. Overall, it provides excellent value for the cost. Cons There can occasionally be minor corrections needed, as with any voice recognition software, but overall accuracy has been very strong and continues to improve with use.

May 13, 2025 5.0 When Dragon stopped supporting “Microsoft Word for Mac,” Talkatoo saved my career. I am a physician, not a veterinarian for whom the program was initially developed. But trust me, it makes no difference what kind of work you do. If you use a Mac and need voice-to-transcription software, go with Talkatoo. I cannot recommend them too highly. The company itself, its developers, and tech support are the best in the industry and the most accessible you will ever find. Pros In my work as a physician, the accuracy rate is impressive. Even technical words come out right. And if I need a word or phrase that's out of the ordinary, I add it to my dictionary and suddenly its recognized about ninety-eight percent of the time. Cons I initially had some problems with punctuation. Every time I dictated the word "colon" as it referred to a portion of the intestinal system, a punctuation mark - : - showed up. Talkatoo took care of the problem. Getting dates properly transcribed took a little learning on my part. But, as usual, that's been handled too. Switched from [Dragon Professional Individual](https://www.capterra.com/p/251641/Dragon-Professional-Individual/) Dragon stopped making and supporting Work for Mac I use in all my work.

July 20, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of use. the added benefit of the new AI system that is easy for my staff to use and saves time on medical records Cons Sometimes it doesn't pick up the right words, and the microphone is sensitive to all the ambient noise Alternatives considered [SlideShare](https://www.capterra.com/p/214044/SlideShare/) Reason for choosing Talkatoo Ease of use and the broader offerings from you Review Source JI James I. Hospital Director Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Huge time saver! Really agile and responsive " March 3, 2025 5.0 From being initially a bit skeptical, we have really evolved to rely on Talkatoo. The amount of time that this saves us is huge. It is clearly still an evolving software which is a good thing. We find they are continuously implementing feedback from us as users and the product continues to get better and better Pros The call summary is hugely helpful. Just being able to call and speak to a client for 10 minutes and then throw that right into my medical record in a summarized format is phenomenal. The company is very responsive to feedback and continues to implement changes and improvements basically every week. Cons It is still a little bit dumb sometimes in the way that it puts simple client communications like "eyes look great" into the medical record. However, they continue to refine it and this is becoming less and less common Alternatives considered [Scribe](https://www.capterra.com/p/252555/Scribe/) Reason for choosing Talkatoo It gives me more options to make a good medical record. I like the agility of the AI assistant, the web portal, and the phone app Review Source JR Jessica R. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Helpful in any ER!!" July 20, 2025 5.0 Overall I would recommend to any busy vet. The fact that it can turn a conversation with a client into a history is amazing. Pros Ease of use and saves so much time in our ER. Owners don’t shy away from being recorded. Very smart technology. Cons Sometimes have to change some of the wording. Minor grammatical errors when converting to a history. Alternatives considered [ChatGPT Writer](https://www.capterra.com/p/10015128/ChatGPT-Writer/) Reason for choosing Talkatoo Ease of use and ability to record. More familiar with medical terms. Review Source AP Amanda P. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Paulhamus Veterinary Associates Review" July 19, 2025 4.0 So far excellent. I think in a brick and mortar setting into can be either further utilized for all features. Pros Ability to quickly enter medical notes/records. Easy in an ambulatory setting and notes are completed. Cons Once a note is submitted, I cannot go back and edit the summary before copying and pasting into ezyVet. Alternatives considered [PetDesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/166086/PetDesk/) Reason for choosing Talkatoo PetDesk had just launch AI while Talkatoo was more established. Review Source MA Mary A. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why did I wait so long to get this? 😅" July 19, 2025 5.0 I love it! Saves a ton of time. Especially when I tend to get in my head and want to make sure I say everything grammatically correct. The med note recording (I use during and summarize after depending on the situation) is great! I get behind a lot as a solo mobile vet and capturing everything on the road is so much easier. I wish I had this when I started. Pros When doing notes and emails I can ramble on and it formats everything with only small edits. Plus the subjective portion when recording really helps with my med notes. Cons Assessment and Plan sometimes doesn’t format like I want or is repetitive. When I’m talking to client during objective sometimes it adds things that don’t belong in the physical exam. Review Source JD Jason D. Veterinarian, Practice Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love Talkatoo!" May 28, 2025 4.0 I really like using Talkatoo. Sometimes I am busy enough with my appointments that I don't always get to use it during or between as much as I would like, but even if I end up doing a lot of my notes after hours, it speeds the process. Pros I like the fact that I can dictate my notes rather than having to type them, and that even brief notes can be reformatted into a more intelligible form via AI. Cons Sometimes it seems to have trouble learning or spelling some of the words that I use-typically drug names or uncommon conditions. This has seemed to improve somewhat overtime, as I'm sure it will continue to do; more of an observation than an actual complaint at this time. Review Source NB Nicole B. ER Vet Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Talkatoo app" July 21, 2025 5.0 Very good conversation, concise, and informative without overwhelming information. Very outgoing personality and easy to talk to. Pros Talkatoo app call scribe. I was unaware of this feature and I am excited to try it when I get back to work. Cons I don’t not have any point that I did not like about the conversation. It was overall a positive interaction. Review Source KD Kentley D. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Talkatoo is Great!! " May 1, 2025 5.0 Great!! I really have benefited from using Talkatoo. I use it for every exam I do and for most client communications. Pros How it allows me to save time by helping me finish my notes at a reasonable time instead of staying late to finish records daily. I also use the AI assistant to make client handouts. Cons Took a little adjust when starting to use. It will be more beneficial for my hospital when we can change between users but I hear that is coming.

Intern Veterinarian Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes intern veterinarian more efficient!" December 8, 2025 5.0 Very great overall experience, really helps with efficiency and accuracy of record keeping. By using it right after seeing an appointment, I don't miss key details about cases. Pros I like how much time it saves when seeing lots of appointments and keeping on top of records. I really like how accurate the voice to text is. Cons Sometimes the voice recognition is not completely accurate. Sometimes it fills in words that I wasn't intending to use. Review Source LV Laura V. Veterinarian Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time saving with some limitations" July 20, 2025 4.0 I'm very detailed and don't like how much it simplifies my discussion and recommendations. However, it is time saving and I love the call summary function. Pros The call summary is very helpful. It used to take me twice as long to do calls because I'd have to write it to afterwards. Love it. Cons The SOAP write up isn't detailed enough. I an very detail oriented, and have lots of discussions with owners. My complaint is that it overly simplifies my discussion without putting in specific details.

Cons I didn't like not being able to edit after submitting but I believe that problem has been fixed. Thank you Review Source CM Chelsea M. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thank God for Talkatoo!" July 19, 2025 5.0 It has been exceedingly helpful and a big time saver. Since my injury I have used it almost exclusively to write my notes and it has kept the practice on track Pros It has saved my life since I broke my wrist! I don’t have the mobility in my wrist to type quickly so it has saved me tons of time. Cons Sometimes it glitches and doesn’t do what I ask. Occasionally it interprets things that the \[sensitive content hidden\] says as fact when they aren’t Review Source AR Ashley R. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Recommend talkatoo" July 19, 2025 4.0 Overall, training is great and very helpful. I wish there was follow up a few months out to see how things are going. And to help with troubleshooting. Pros The app is easy to use and the AI portion is great to create discharges. It has helped reduce my time charting. Cons It takes time for me to get the soap created. It gets the pets name wrong frequently. And sometimes combines pets. Review Source JR Jen R. Associate Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User friendly and smart" July 21, 2025 5.0 Pros Concise and clear dictation summaries, especially for long conversations with clients. I have had 30 minute conversations turned into very organized soap notes. Also i love the multipet soap feature. Cons Occaisional bugs and issues with processing speed. The software also occaisi9nally closes out mid converswtion. Review Source SR Sally R. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Saves time" January 26, 2025 4.0 So far it is very easy to use. It has made taking medical notes faster and more comprehensive since they are more detailed. Pros I love the AI dictation portion for long complicated medical notes and emails. Cons The mistakes with medical terminology can be frustrating. And some of the autocorrect words are a little questionable at times. You have to proof read over notes carefully Review Source AC Andy C. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Saves hours of work each day!" January 26, 2025 5.0 I have been using for a couple of years. The AI features are very accurate, flexible to be tailored to your preferences and saves us hours per day. Pros Ease of use app. Very robust and accurate! Saves me hours per day of work time doing charts. Cons No real cons. It has been a great tool. Occasionally the results of a certain prompt phrase will turn out different than the style it provided the day before, but not a huge deal. Review Source HM Heidi M. Regional Medical Director of the Midwest Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Huge fan of Talkatoo!!" March 3, 2025 4.0 Talkatoo has gotten so much better over the coarse of the last 8 months. They have really listened to the veterinarians using it and made updates to better suit our needs. I practiced 18 years without something like this, and now I will never practice without it again! Pros I like the ease of use, the time saved writing medical records, and the great training and support from the Talkatoo team! Cons I can't figure out how to get it to summarize something that I dictate - something that doesn't need to be in SOAP format. Review Source ML Maxim L.
