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. TS Thomas S.

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.

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.

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 Sara K. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best investment for your DVM's."

Pros The Transcription accuracy is amazing and and filters out all the unnecessary conversations. Also you can go back and listen to the recordings.

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 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 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.

Cuts down staff and doctor time with medical notes. So far, very easy to navigate. Notes are SO professional and thorough. The call feature is amazing as well. Puts all topics discussed into bullet points. Hits every area of the medical exam or call. Pros We are loving this product. It has really streamlined the way we work within the office visit. Very efficient and cuts down doctor and staff time with medical notes. Very quick and easy to execute. Vet med has just gotten easier with this product! Cons Nothing so far. Few minor glitches but the customer service representative was able to help us navigate any issues that have been arising. Overall, we are very happy with this product. Switched from [Scribe](https://www.capterra.com/p/252555/Scribe/) Looking for a product that has more features and bit more streamlined 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 AJ Andrew J. Dvm Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game changer!!" December 16, 2024 5.0 Overall, my experience has been great. Starting with the initial onboarding, \[sensitive content hidden\] was wonderful. He explained the technology well, gave many examples on how to best use it, and provided an overview to help me figure out how to implement it in my clinic. It has been exciting to integrate this technology into my work, and I have been able to interact with \[sensitive content hidden\] to ask questions. He has guided me in better utilizing the technology. Over the past 6 months, it has been fun to see this technology grow. I have noticed continuous improvements. The coolest aspect is how the company interacts with veterinarians and responds to our feedback. We are given a chance to make suggestions, and the company listens to us. This responsiveness is tremendous for improving the technology. I have also enjoyed observing how the company addresses any problems that arise. Some of the newer features have been very ingenious, specifically the phone app, which pleasantly surprised me. Overall, this technology has allowed me to do things I never thought possible and has given me more time and options to be a better veterinarian. Pros The great part about Talkatoo is that it provides tools you can tailor to the way you practice. I have really enjoyed learning how to use these tools to best serve my needs. As I am not a typist, I appreciate not having to write anything. I love that I can make notes in the file during my physical exams without typing on a computer. To me, the physical exam is the most important part of our job. It has always annoyed me when I go to my doctor and they just type on their computer, asking questions impersonally. When I decided to go paperless and adopt scribe technology, I specifically committed to not typing on a computer while talking to my patients because that's not me. I am a hands-on vet and do not believe in typing on a computer in the exam room. The biggest problem with my practice is that I am very busy and don't have the time to type up all my notes after the exam. This is where Talkatoo excels. It summarizes my findings, captures important history questions, and filters out superfluous fluff when I'm talking to owners. It hands down does better notes than I did prior to using Talkatoo. My staff laughs how much more information is included in the notes. I just laugh and tell them, I am a minimalist when it comes to my notes. The assistant part of Talkatoo also provides great options. My favorite use is for responding to client emails. I find it tremendous because I don't have to sit and type responses on my computer. I can respond to clients while walking my dog, playing with my dogs, or waiting for my kids to finish at the gym. This flexibility makes me a more accessible veterinarian and enables me to interact more with my clients. It also allows me to use my downtime more productively towards my patients and clients. The coolest feature you have released, which I never expected but find very useful, is the call logging feature. I was thrilled with how it summarizes phone calls. It's ingenious because it not only summarizes calls but shows the number as calling from the hospital, not my cell phone number. That feature is essential, ensuring I use it frequently. Overall, I know this is a long response, but you asked for my opinion. Cons When starting to use Talk A 2, what I like least is the initial learning curve. Whenever I start using something new, I always feel a bit intimidated. However, having many options provides a great deal of ways to apply it to my practice. It did require some time to figure out how best to optimize it for my specific needs and the information I want to record. At first, the AI took some time to understand where things should go and occasionally missed some details, but over time, this has improved significantly. Initially, there were issues with how things were recorded into exam forms, but these were eventually resolved. Overall, there are not many bothersome aspects, and I don't have much to complain about. It's important to recognize that nothing is perfect and things will evolve. We have to approach new tools with the right attitude. Review Source AP Andrew P. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Talkatoo is Terrific " April 30, 2025 5.0 great product, I recommend to all my colleagues. there was definitely a learning curve but easily brought into everyday exams. Pros the time saved and accuracy of the note taking, it has taken a lot of stress off of the end of the day. More time can be dedicated to clients Cons language barrier with accents, there have been a couple appointments with foreign owners who are difficult to understand for myself, so I don't hold the app accountable. but I think it would be a great idea to have the app even understand or translate other languages Review Source SO Sharon O. DVM Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My experience with talkatoo" May 30, 2025 5.0 I use it everyday. And for almost all calls and alll appointments. I needy use more for wording on emails and composing letters Pros I love the call back system. I can call from home and it appears as work number. I also like the way it organizes my conversation. 30 seconds of editing then paste into communication file . Cons It was taking too much time to download. But it now seems quicker. I also have learned to submit my notes as I leave the exam room. Then it's a quick copy/ paste and edit. However sometimes it has the wrong names and words. It usually is easy to fix and can make for some humorous reading . Review Source hG halee G. Technician Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Go for it you wont regret it " January 19, 2026 5.0 It catches everything. If I was writing the note, I might forget something my dog's doctor said in passing, so I do like that. Pros I was skeptical at first because it's AI, and I like typing my notes to ensure everything is there, but this does it all Cons We have to read over it; it might be the wrong name, but its good overall and we do love how it saves time 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. Review Source DNL Dr. Noël L. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Life-changing" January 26, 2025 5.0 Life-changing from a clinical flow perspective. I love having a virtual scribe with me! I will never go back to my old ways! Pros I have so much more confidence that all my client conversations and education is being documented in realtime. I love the efficiency I have gained for myself and the team. I know this is only the beginning or how this technology is going to help me as a veterinarian deliver better care to my patients. Cons Some functionality issues while using in real-time on iPads and iPhone with the app locking up. Minor issue overall. 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 LG Lewis G.

Saves me hours per day of work time doing charts. Cons No real cons. It has been a great tool.
