Pros Ease of use. Availability of app. Time saving. Cons Sometimes translation or terminology used is incorrect or changed. Review Source JD James D. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Adapting to change and embracing new technology to work smarter" May 31, 2024 4.0 Overall my experience with Talkatoo has been favorable and I'm looking forward to expanding use into some of the AI features that will help me formulate patient records in a far more efficient manner. As someone who is not extremely tech savvy, I have appreciated the relatively intuitive nature of Talkatoo. Pros As someone who does not type efficiently, Talkatoo helps me in both my work and personal life when digitally communicating with colleagues as well as family members. I tend to use Talkatoo when dictating medical records for work as well as composing letters and email correspondence with family and friends. Cons Overall the program has relatively accurate word recognition but occasionally there are words that still are not correctly identified/transcribed and need to be edited. I have found that this recognition has improved over time and seems to improve with updates. Occasionally I have difficulty getting the software to stay connected and "at the ready" to dictate with the microphone when I switch between our practice management software and other computer programs.

Hospital director Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Talkatoo improved my record quality" July 2, 2024 5.0 It has really helped improve the quality of my records, it has also improved my speed to complete each record Pros Multiple ways to improve record keeping and improve speed of record keeping Cons As with any dictation system, there are time where it miss “hears” what you said. The AI does a good job most of the time, but sometimes it focuses on less important information Alternatives considered [Scribe](https://www.capterra.com/p/252555/Scribe/) Reason for choosing Talkatoo I like the auto soap as well as the dictation functions Review Source LR Lisa R. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice product to improve efficiency " May 29, 2024 4.0 I've had a great experience. I'm pretty quick to voice my opinions and put suggestions into the inbox. Each time, customer service has reached out within 24 hours and if needed has scheduled a call to make sure that we can get the bugs worked out. They continue to release new versions which allow me to be as efficient as possible. Pros Talkatoo is easy to use, plug and play. Some of the other products such as TalkingVet require onboarding and although Talkatoo offered that service, I declined and I've been using the product effectively for over a year. They update the product frequently and the updates are meaningful. It doesn't glitch on me and I use the heck out of it. Cons My most recent complaints about Talkatoo were addressed in the most recent update. No complaints now. Review Source JK Jon K. Veterinarian, Chief of Staff Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Talkatoo = More Free Time + Better Medical Records" May 17, 2024 5.0 Talkatoo has literally changed my life. Instead of 2+ hours of medical records every day, I'm able to get them all done, with high quality and accuracy in less than half the time. Now, I actually have time for me! I place a high value on Free Time, because it is so rare. Talkatoo has given me Free Time and Quality of Life. Thank you!!! Pros Talkatoo has improved my medical records and literally saves me hours every day! I don't dread the record-keeping as I used to. Talkatoo is able to take my meandering exam room conversation and turn it into a coherent and cohesive medical record. I just hit Record on my phone and it does the rest. I love this product and what I have gained--> FREE TIME!! Cons Talkatoo is not perfect, but it is getting there. It is not great at drug names and doesn't consistently populate the medical record with things I've said (such as Body Condition Score.) Just the same, it gets 90% of what I say correct and exceeds all but the most skilled scribes that I had in the exam room. Switched from [Dragon Anywhere](https://www.capterra.com/p/251642/Dragon-Anywhere/) Talkatoo is generations beyond a simple dictation program. It creates the Medical Record for me. All I have to do is cut and paste! Thank you :-) Review Source RF RANDY F. Managing Veterinarian and Owner Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Veterinary use" July 2, 2024 5.0 It has been such a time saver for me and actually has been fun to learn. 8 out of our 10 Drs are currently using Talkatoo and feel the same way. Customer service has been excellent and the program is constantly being updated and improved Pros Talkatoo has reduced my time of creating medical notes by at least 50% Cons I am not very tech savey so it is taking me some time to familiarize myself with all of the Talkatoo features. Some of the medical word recognition when I began using Talkatoo was incorrect however as I correct specific words this is much less common Review Source EN Elizabeth N. Veterinarian Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Talkatoo review" May 29, 2024 5.0 Overall experience is excellent and highly recommend Pros Great software that is easy to use and very effective and accurate Cons Transcript is sometimes slow to get processed but does not happen regularly Review Source JD John D. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "3 Month review" May 24, 2024 4.0 Despite only using Talkatoo for the last three months, my experience has been extremely positive. It has made note-taking more enjoyable and eliminated the need for manual typing. In short, Talkatoo is well worth the investment and the time it takes to learn. Pros Talkative has significantly improved my daily workflow, enhancing my note-taking abilities and reducing the stress associated with managing numerous appointments. It has alleviated the fear of missing details in my exam notes. Cons Talkatoo's AI has shown improvement in voice recognition for myself, clients, and my assistant, and it is expected to continue improving. Currently, there are no significant cons or problems with the service, which is impressive for a young company. Review Source KM Ken M. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Game changer" May 13, 2024 4.0 Exceptionally good so far. Am early into my use of the AI techology of Talkatoo so still learning. Pros Talkatoo puts randomly entered presenting concerns and information into a concise SOAP formula, including history presented by the client and various examination findings noted by the vet throughout a 20-45 minute appointment. The AI function identifies what information is important for the medical record and weeds out the social banter between client and vet. Cons How long it took for me to discover the AI functions Switched from [Dragon Professional Individual](https://www.capterra.com/p/251641/Dragon-Professional-Individual/) Was needing to train Dragon on veterinary vocabulary more than I thought I should have to. Review Source JN Jordan N. Owner and veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My team and I love Talkatoo" May 24, 2024 5.0 Overall very happy with Talkatoo and we will continue to use it daily in our practice. Pros The autosoap ability has really cut down on our time spent typing and managing medical notes. Allowing us to see more patients more efficiently. Cons Sometimes the ai will write things in a way that sounds too much like a computer generated it and not how an actual person would type or talk. Review Source MM Michelle M. Owner DVM Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Talkatoo saves me time and improves my patient care" May 13, 2024 5.0 I'm very happy so far. I currently primarily use TaDa and copy and paste into a template in my PIMS. My SOAP notes are much more thorough and detailed, my own understanding of my cases and the knowledge of my staff about my cases has greatly improved. Clients love getting notes in an understandable and easy to read format that they can refer back to! Pros Talkatoo has allowed me to move towards paper-lite without the painful struggle that I had been envisioning. Cons Initially there were a few hiccups to work through, but troubleshooting has allowed me to learn more about how to use the program. Reason for choosing Talkatoo Talkatoo was at the VMX and Dragon Dictation was not. Review Source KJ Khirsta J. Veterinarian Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Veterinary Practice" July 2, 2024 4.0 Pros Capturing information from client conversations and exam findings to ensure medical record accuracy. Cons When it replaces medical terminology in templates with non-medical verbage used in client communication. Review Source AG Amelia G. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nice new dictation options" May 13, 2024 4.0 Way better than during COVID. the AI really makes this superior to other dictation platforms as long as you use it. The basic dictation is better than it was before, but is not stellar. Pros It is usable in different ways to allow for different workflows. I use the TaDa and Talkatext function to generate physical exams quickly as I type the rest of the medical record. I also use it to record phone calls and then quickly summarize them for the medical record, or emailing a recap to the client. Cons the simple dicatation feature is still not very accurate and doesn't know many medical terms. Switched from [Talkdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/132852/Talkdesk/) Switched from TalkingVet, It is not in the list, and it will not let me submit without choosing something from the list.... The boss liked it , we tried it and liked the AI features. Review Source DG Daniel G. DVM and CEO Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Talkatoo review" May 16, 2024 5.0 Pros I love that it records every word in a conversation. Figures out what's imoportant and not important. Strips out what's not important and then puts the remainder in a soap format Cons It has difficult with some words still that will improve with time I hope Review Source AM Ashley M. DVM Veterinary Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent Customer Support" May 10, 2024 5.0 In all honesty, I was not actually going to keep this product. I said might as well try the free trial for 1 month and then get my money back. However, this has been such a great asset for many. The automatically generated so is something I use on a daily basis for almost all of my patients. Clients have taken to it just fine with no hesitation. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been sure to be consistent and thourough with training which set me up for success from the get go. Until he walked me throuygh TaDa, I hadnt had time to play with it. Man, what a hidden gem. Thanks \[sensitive content hidden\] ! Pros Auto SOAP has been a game changer for my record keeping. Cons I dont like that I cannot make all of the SOAPs in bulleted form however, I hear that this is a upcoming update. Review Source Merrianne B. Veterinary internist Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Getting better all the time " March 23, 2026 4.0 very supportive customer service. I know I'm not capitalizing on all they have to offer and look forward to increasing efficiency with the tools they are now offering Pros Dictation service really speeds up my record writing. As a specialist reviewing records can be time consuming reading out the pertinent parts of a record saves a lot of time. Cons Still working on some of that nuances of the program. I have not capitalized on all of the new AI services they offer and look forward to doing that as I expand my support team Review Source JC Jaythan C. Student Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Talkatoo Review - A Physician Assistant Student Experience" May 16, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Talkatoo has been fantastic. While it did take a week to learn how to fully use the software and how it could work for me, it now saves me time each day I use it! The software is easy to learn and user friendly. Pros I have been using Talkatoo during my Physician Assistant Program training. I have used the software is various areas of my educational and clinical training. This includes summarizing notes, writing research papers, searching databases, and much more. One of my favorite ways to use Talkatoo is making Anki flashcards. This makes the process as a PA student much faster, freeing up more time for me to actually study the flashcards I have made.The Talkatoo mobile app has helped me dictate words more clear and accurate when I have not travelled with my Talkatoo microphone. This resource is great evidence of how Talkatoo likes to improve and make the user experience better as they progress as a company!I enjoy that Talkatoo has incredible customer service. I have worked with \[sensitive content hidden\] multiple times and she has helped me to better understand the Talkatoo product and get the most out of this resource. They have been prompt with their response and are always professional! Another benefit of Talkatoo is that they are always trying to improve as a company. Now this doesn't mean they are always bombarding you with your feedback, rather they use the data they receive to made updates to their software. This helps with there never being any software problem issues with Talkatoo, something that is very nice! Cons The truth is that there are not very many cons with Talkatoo. The only improvement I would like to see in coming updates is the ability to create macros or phrases, a function that some other high end dictation softwares offer. Review Source MJ Melanie J. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Terrible platform and worse customer satisfaction support." January 29, 2024 1.0 Before they secured the sale it was all sunshine and roses promising this revolutionary service that in practice is not ready for utilization in any clinic. Our experience was terrible from the minute they took our money, the customer service and collaboration disappeared. Pros The concept, AI will be the way of the future to improve a lot of veterinary administrative efficiencies. However this platform (talkatoo verified) is not equipped to deliver the level of attention and support that is required and will not be for some time. Cons I felt my team and I were completely taken advantage of, we onboarded onto the talkatoo verified service and were billed right away before the proper setup could be completed. We used this service for 1 week and had to do 50% of the work it was supposed to be relieving us from ourselves. I manually had to go into each patient file and input the doctor notes, $600 later customer service took no accountability for their rushed and failed application of their product. They have an extremely delayed turn around time from recording your notes to the time it is supposed to be uploaded for you into your PMS, waiting days for your notes to be inputted is not effective if you have a high efficiency clinic, better to just pay your support team member to transcribe for your veterinarian as it is a better investment of your money and time. Additionally, the app glitches and does not upload your cases when you think you have submitted them therefore adding additional delays to medical record notes. In our situation our security team was unable to provide remote access to talkatoos team the day they started billing us, what would have been considerate, and client-centered would have been to delay our official start date of their service once the connection was granted and the full experience of their service could be demonstrated, but what they did was charge us for the month and refused to cancel the service and provide a refund. Which has tarnished their reputation and I will proactively not recommending other veterinary clinics to try their service. Review Source Response from Talkatoo April 9, 2024 We take pride in our mission to give Veterinary professionals time back in their day. All feedback from our clients is crucial and I appreciate that you took my call. As we spoke about, I’ll reach out to you in a few months to let your team reevaluate our service. I fully understand why you felt let down The delays in us gaining access to your PMS meant you had to shoulder the workload that our team usually handles. In the beginning, growing pains were inevitable, yet this does not excuse our poor customer service. When the issue of refund was raised, we should have done a better job, we were wrong and we are extremely sorry. As the CEO, I place great importance on ensuring our clients are satisfied, which is why after reevaluating the situation, we have issued you a full refund. Please accept my apology again and understand that we highly appreciate your feedback as it has helped us be a better company. Best, Shawn Wilkie LR Lindsay R. Practice Owner, Chief of Medicine Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The most amazing software I never knew we needed, but doubled our efficiency and morale!" January 14, 2021 5.0 Pros Talkatoo was very easy to implement on all of our computer systems. The goal with implementing this software was to improve our efficiency in writing medical records. Improving our efficiency then led to us being able to see more patients per shift and medical records being completed while ON shift despite this almost 3-fold increase in patient load. Not having unfinished medical records looming over our heads has improved morale and allowed my team to have a better work-life balance (an unexpected but very welcomed effect)! I also love that the company is always looking to make improvements meaning the program will be able to keep pace with my clinic's rapid growth. Cons Sometimes the app on my computer crashes, but this could easily be my computer as well. I look forward to Talkatoo continuing to add more punctuation abilities. :-) Reason for choosing Talkatoo After interacting with some team members for these other products I got a very negative vibe. They seem to be more focused on the money aspect rather than making a product that could actually be tweaked to meet the needs of the client. Once I did a demo with talkatoo it became very clear that the company as a whole has standards and values very similar to our business. It became very clear that every person at talkatoo I encountered I was very passionate about the product that they put out on the market. And when you see a team that is that passionate across the board... well, that is a company that I want to work with. Review Source Response from Talkatoo January 22, 2021 Thank you so much for your glowing review, Dr. Ruland! I was so pleased to hear all the benefits you and your clinic were able to get from Talkatoo, both unexpected and expected. We're super pleased to have you as a customer and as an advocate. Hearing feedback like yours is what drives us to continuously improve the software! Thanks again. DB Danielle B. Veterinarian, DACVIM Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good, but could be (and hopefully will be) better" July 29, 2022 4.0 Talkatoo is easy to learn and easy to use. It does lack some functionality but my experience with customer service has been good so far and representatives have been receptive to feedback and suggest that there will be improvements and upgrades coming. I work on two different computers, one of which I take with me to airports, hotels, and my home, and it is easy to switch from computer to computer and it works well in all locations. It does save time and allows for hands-free typing which increases my overall productivity. Pros Talkatoo is extremely easy to use and very intuitive. It does not have to be “trained” and is user-ready from the start. The ability to install and multiple computers and to use a smartphone as a microphone makes it mobile, accessible and useful. It is superior to other dictation software in accurately recognizing and spelling proper nouns. It loads quickly and automatically. Cons Talkatoo lacks functionality compared to some other dictation software. For example, you cannot dictate whether or not a word should be capitalized and it does not recognize all grammar (parenthesis have to be manually typed in). It does not “learn” with use over time however this is not a major problem is it seems to recognize most words and you can add words and entire phrases if it doesn’t know them. Talkatoo does seem to struggle some with numbers and is inconsistent. For example sometimes 3.42 will be written correctly and other times it might transcribe “3 point for to”. Review Source EW Elizabeth W. owner veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Voice Recognition System with a cute Parrot" April 6, 2023 4.0 Overall experience positive - very good performance, excellent support staff, easy billing/payment and quality microphone. Pros The program performs well in a simple, bright, clean manner. Cons Use is an subscription rather than a single purchase. Switched from [Dragon Professional Individual](https://www.capterra.com/p/251641/Dragon-Professional-Individual/) Upon initial purchase of Dragon, I just did not use it enough to become comfortable with it. I abandon it for years. When I decided to consider trying voice recognition again, Talkatoo just appeared cleaner, easier and more approachable. Review Source MG Mark G. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Saves time throughout the day" July 8, 2023 5.0 Saves about 5 minutes per appointment allowing me to get other work related projects completed. Fills in prescription labels and items related to the historical document. Pros Able to integrate into the notes that I give to the clients after a visit. Presently using a program that permits paragraghs to be entered. All saving time throughout the day. Cons It is 90 to 95% accurate. Need to correct some usages. Occasionally places an alternative word into the text. Review Source IRR Iris Ramirez R. owner Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Tool" August 5, 2021 5.0 The support is Excellent. I was so proud of my typing speed, but now that I am using this transcription service all the time, I am AMAZED at how fast it is. Cuts record keeping time by 60% even with any little corrections or changes in colors/size of text that I do for clients ease of reading so they don't have pages of small black on white but rather blocks of varying text . I type more personal info and instructions for my clients than any vet in my 30 + year history (have done ALOT of relief work & see hundreds of other vet's records) and this sevice makes it MUCH MUCH faster like I said above. Sometimes I even allow the clients to state their CC & Hx . I just LOVE IT. You can get your records done while talking with the client much faster and hit send at the end of the appointment. My only regret is when I am on another computer like doing this now. I would have been long done with it if I had done this at work. I am so spoiled, I want to carry the mic back to the house and use it at home. Your skill set will also improve in a couple weeks to make your transcribing more efficient. GO FOR IT. You have a free month at least I did. Pros It is easy to use as long as your internet is working. Cons Working out the "kinks" which were all on my end. First I had to ditch my old worthless computer because it had auto suggestions that were messing up TalkaToo and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] caught that was the problem . Then there was the learning curve for me. I am VERY HAPPY that I stuck through it with the help of the EXCELLENT TalkaToo support. I doubt anyone would have my troubles, but I wanted to share with you so that you know that IT IS WORTH WHATEVER stumbling blocks you have to get this service up and going!!! Review Source MS MacKenzie S. President and CEO Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Talkatoo and Their Team Are Great" February 17, 2023 5.0 My experience with Talkatoo was excellent. I live a strange technological life, with a combination of PCs and Macs across two different offices, each with their own idiosyncrasies. Talkatoo's support team was always there to help me out with my occasional weird problems, and by the end of my tenure with the service, they knew me by name. I am very grateful to the entire Talkatoo team for keeping me online during a very annoying chapter in my health journey. Pros Talkatoo is miles ahead of any stock speech-to-text software. As a mental health clinician, it was invaluable to have a tool that came loaded with common medical terminology, and I appreciated being able to add my own terms to the dictionary to speed things up further. I started using the product when a repetitive strain injury left me unable to use my wrists or elbows for anything for 8-12 weeks. Talkatoo was a lifesaver. Without it, I would have had to go out on leave. Cons Talkatoo's subscription fee is based on the value for someone who is dictating full time. As my injury healed and I was able to return to typing, it didn't make sense for my business to sustain the cost of dictation. Review Source PL Pamela L. veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "extremely helpful" February 28, 2024 5.0 Pros Talkatoo has given me back time on the weekend and quality time with family. Instead of catching up on work on my time off, I am able to finish my work during the work week and spend more time doing what I love. Cons Despite teaching certain medical terms to talkatoo, it still struggles understanding certain words and I have to correct it in the text. Switched from [Dragon Professional Individual](https://www.capterra.com/p/251641/Dragon-Professional-Individual/) the company I work for made the switch and I could not continue to use my previous product.
