Talkoot is an excellent tool

Talkoot is essential to my job. I use it every day, and without it, I could not do my job.

PROS

Talkoot makes it easy to write, edit and deliver ecom catalog copy at a high volume. It makes it possible for multiple members of a creative team to play critical roles to ensure the copy that is delivered is accurate, well written and free of errors prior to delivery. It also helps in the seamless transition and tracking of copy from the point of order to delivery.

CONS

Talkoot has a lot of features that can be difficult for novice users to access.

Easy content collaboration with lots of helpful features

PROS

It's flexible and easy to customize for your own purposes. As a write, I enjoy using it. It's clearly designed for writing, with lots of open space and an uncluttered interface It's a centralized online space for collaboration - ideal for use with lots of remote contractors and clients located on another continent. It's easy to organize all your information and assets in one place. The Talkoot team is very supportive and responsive whenever I have a question.

CONS

I would appreciate more drag-and-drop functionality than is currently available. The spellcheck tends to be a little buggy (from what I've heard, this is an issue they are actively working on).

Difficult Learning Curve, High Potential

For my use, Talkoot is a very powerful tool and with the right upgrades and iterations I feel that it could be absolutely essential.

PROS

Using Talkoot for eComm project management removes a lot of strain from the process as well as client-back-and forth. The tracking features, search features, and overall capabilities offer many valuable solutions for the workflow.

CONS

Speed is the main issue in Talkoot. Often times it's easier to work from a separate doc than the in the software itself. It's often difficult to find what's needed, partially due to how granular the search functions are. Overall, if the platform was more user-friendly, intuitive, and most importantly fast, it would be extremely valuable. Right now too much onus is on the users to be experts rather than roleplayers.

Vendor Response

Hi Anthony, thanks for taking the time to write this. We're happy to hear that Talkoot has helped with client back and forth and the overall workflow! I'm sorry to hear that there have been issues with speed & usability. Speed is something we're always focused on improving, and our most recent release included some significant performance enhancements. We really value offering the best support possible and have reached out directly to offer additional training in Talkoot. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or issues that come up in the future we're happy to help! -Erin

Optimizes Your Content Workflow

Our clients love the platform as it saves time on their end as well. No more miscellaneous Excel sheets that both teams need to keep track of - it has also saved our team so much time in the writing process as we are able to better access previous copy and categorize accordingly.

PROS

Catalog organization and content management is the key benefit of this tool. It has cut down our copy production time mainly in the reduction of time it takes to organize information, write consistent copy and send iterations back and forth to clients.

CONS

Currently no access to Amazon to upload content, but I think something is on the way.

Vendor Response

Hi Carly, It's wonderful to hear that Talkoot has helped with organization & saved time for you and your team! You are correct that an Amazon integration is on the way, and we'll keep you posted on progress there. Thanks for the kind words! Erin

Talkoot helps us do what we do best

PROS

I was project-managing in the Excel days and can't even imagine working that way at the volume Thread operates today. The Talkoot interface is intuitive, so our writers can concentrate on the writing and not on the software. And the more advanced features behind the scenes help our PMs keep everything moving along smoothly. The data integration with client systems is dreamy.

CONS

I'm not in love with the spell-check function, but in the scheme of things that's a very small quibble.

Good software but can be improved

PROS

Talkoot is easy to use and fairly intuitive.

CONS

When you “select all” it selects every SKU on every page. There is no option to select all on just the page you are on, which means you have to manually select each individual SKU in order to send them to your editor. When you look at the auto generated info, it does not list everything. It makes it look like that item only has a few tech specs but if you go to the web page for that item you will see a load more specs that Talkoot just hasn’t generated. You can’t click at URL you have to highlight it, copy, and paste in your browser, or highlight it and right click to search it on the web.

Vendor Response

Hi Holly, so glad that you have found Talkoot to be intuitive and easy to use. There should be ways to select batches of models without going one by one we'll reach out separately to assist!

it's ok

it's ok, we only use it twice per season (half year). It is not fantastic, but it does the job. No major issues.

PROS

don't know what to say, it is ok... there is nothing I particularly like about it to be honest.

CONS

loading times could be better, and a "tile view" in order to select multiple products that should get the same comments would be helpful... also the option to "group" items to show that they belong together. The search functionality isn't the most intuitive when you only use it every 6 months...

Vendor Response

Hi Katrin, Really like the idea to add a multi-model select and groupings to the approval page! We're also always happy to provide refresher trainings after you've been out of the system for a while, please don't hesitate to reach out if you feel that would be helpful to the team.

PROS

Talkoot is very user friendly. I like how efficient it is and I can get my work done quickly.

CONS

Reasons for switching to Talkoot

I'm not sure. My marketing team made that decision.

Happy with Talkoot after 3+ years using it

As an eCom translator, Talkoot holds all the reference pictures I need to produce good quality translations

PROS

It's basically essential in my day to day. It's pretty easy to use and contains a ton of information that I need for my projects.

CONS

The only thing I don't like is that the filters work pretty slow, so I barely use them.

Vendor Response

Hi Blanca, Thank you for the review! Great to hear that Talkoot has helped in your day to day. And thanks for the feedback on filter speed we will be sure to pass this info along to the development team.

They are willing to work with you. If there are any issues they are happy to discuss and figure out a solution together. The software is overall pretty easy to use.

CONS

Writing in general can be a little immature. Software can be hard to find/ go back to old copies. Would be nice if they separated it by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] (or as we call it [SENSITIVE CONTENT])

Great tool, needs optimization and keyboard shortcuts

My overall experience is good. I use Talkoot as a contractor with a small writing outfit that uses it to deliver a large volume of written deliverables on a seasonal basis. Considering the volume, it would be a nightmare without software like Talkoot to manage things. The software can be clunky and slow at times, and for a contractor like myself I am always thinking about how I spend my time versus how I get paid for that time. There's a lot of clicking into different views, and the loading time between the views, and even the loading time for different elements of a individual view, can feel cumbersome. I also wish there were more keyboard shortcuts for moving quickly between views and different parts of the individual views.

PROS

Talkoot's ability to organize and deliver a large volume of written deliverables is impressive.

CONS

The software can be slow at times. I don't like looking at that spinning loading icon when I'm trying to work quickly.
