Game changer

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

Reasons for switching to Talkatoo

Was needing to train Dragon on veterinary vocabulary more than I thought I should have to.

Terrible platform and worse customer satisfaction support.

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.

Vendor Response

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

extremely helpful

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.

Reasons for switching to Talkatoo

the company I work for made the switch and I could not continue to use my previous product.

Great help with injured dominate arm

Overall I was very pleased. It made working through my injury very easy and saved me a TON of time. If my clinic was paperless I would consider keeping the product long term.

PROS

I liked the ease of use and how when I downloaded the free trial I was contacted almost instantly to make sure the product was set up correctly and working for me. I love having the ability to add my own words. For the most part it recognized the added words the very next time I used them.

CONS

I did not like that it often would not detect my microphone right away up starting my computer for the day I would have to close the application and re-open it to get it to register that my mic was plugged in. Perhaps this would not be an issue though if I had the special mic they recommend. The application had a hard time differentiating the words "and" from "in" for me. But beside this I was very pleased.

Reason for choosing Talkatoo

I like the ability to add my own words and for it to recognize veterinary specific words.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the great review! We're very happy that we were able to help you work through an injury and not have to take time off work or get bogged down with all the typing. Thanks for giving the product a try and being a customer.
