"Elegant interface, easy to use, and excellent customer support"
5/5
What do you like best about Shorthand?

For ease in creating custom multimedia storytelling experiences, Shorthand is the way to go. Their templates allow for elegant and simple stories that any novice could quickly master creating, as well as the option for more technically nuanced approaches to create slick and professional designs. But what has been as impressive as their platform is their customer support. They are always quick, efficient, and treat me and my team with personal professionalism that is often lacking from tech companies. Our early missteps received kind understanding and the support team immediately took the time to adjust things on the back end for us. I definitely recommend Shorthand, particularly for other cultural heritage institutions, like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shorthand?

We are very satisfied with Shorthand. One point our users mention is that they miss breadcrumbs that would easily direct them back to the previous story they were in when advancing through linked stories (rather than having to click back to the original tab).

"Shorthand gives our journalism students real pride in their multimedia work"
5/5
What do you like best about Shorthand?

Customer support is prompt and friendly.

Shorthand is intuitive to use

The presentation of stories is beautiful and encourages students to explore, experiment and be ambitious Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shorthand?

Uploaded media e.g. images are not stored in a library. This means that when the editor wants to move things around, it's problematic if they don't have access to the original media. Are we missing something obvious here/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect tool for creating immersive content"
5/5
What do you like best about Shorthand?

Platforms similar to Shorthand are at their best when they are quick and easy to use; Shorthand's is both and what's more, it's a breeze to put together rich content in no time.

Even better is the way they support you in everything you do. There's always the detailed Knowledge Base to hand and a personal account manager who supports and investigates any issues which may arise for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shorthand?

There's a few limits, design-wise, and the ability to have more sections to work with would be nice, but on the whole, Shorthand has everything we need as an organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless, Beautiful, Easy-to-Navigate Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Shorthand?

Shorthand is a fantastic no-code platform that allows us to showcase our creative work and storytelling. As a digital publisher, we can focus on the campaign objectives without having to tackle complicated codes and programs. The interface is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. Any user can figure it out at the first use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shorthand?

It would be great to have paid add-ons per story, rather than per subscription, because each campaign/story is unique in terms of objectives and budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
