TT Traci T. 5th Grade Teacher Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/2/2022 "Makes equitable communication easy!" 5/5 What do you like best about TalkingPoints? The best part about taking points is how it offers teachers, like me, the ability to communicate with parents of all languages. It makes the process super seamless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about TalkingPoints? I dislike how the program functions far better with parents who download the app -- I wish it would work just as well for parents who are just using it thought texting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is TalkingPoints solving and how is that benefiting you? TalkingPoints allow my communication to be equitable for ALL families -- whether we speak the same language or not. It allows me to partner with families, and vise-versa.

Teacher Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/31/2022 "Talking Points Builds A Bridge: Yes, it's time!" 5/5 What do you like best about TalkingPoints? What I find most helpful about Talking Points is that your communication goes out to parents with a fluent, professional translation that sounds like it was written in their language! You don't have to simplify your communication because you're not sure about using google translate or other online translation apps. Talking points has always been accurate for me and I've been using it for three years. It's wonderful that so many languages are available! I've used Russian, Spanish, Swahili and others. It saves time because it translates in all those languages. Your communications are saved and you can even save templates. It makes it easy to communicate with my multi language families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about TalkingPoints? What I dislike is that because my district doesn't allow google docs, I wasn't able to copy/paste my students' profiles. I had to do it individually. However, it was well worth the time and effort at the beginning of the year. I have now used Talking Points for three years and find this initial work at the beginning well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is TalkingPoints solving and how is that benefiting you? I don't have to wait on district translators to send out communications. I can send out communications to everyone at the same time. This has increased my communications to families because I don't have to wait on others to translate.

Teacher Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/24/2023 "Overall great, the app is terrible" 3/5 What do you like best about TalkingPoints? This app is a spectacular resource to use in connecting with families who speak languages I am unable to communicate in. It's so nice to know families are still able to know what's happening in our class without the use of constant translators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about TalkingPoints? Sometimes the translations can be inaccurate/confusing which is likely true for any automated translation service. My biggest problem with this resource is the APP. I was made an admin in my district three years ago and never noticed any differences in my app other than being able to connect with more students. Then, all of the sudden at the beginning of this school year I (and others) can no longer send messages from the app, they just disappear. After being in contact with support for a month, they closed my case because I just kept telling them it wasn't working??? And when I inquired about this they told me it was because I was an admin so it wasn't supported but 1. I've been an admin for 3 years and it hasn't been a problem and 2. There's nothing that looks physically different about my app since becoming an admin. There was also no mention of if they were working to solve this problem or any other solution. Just continually closing my help ticket. We're coming up on 6 months of this being an issue. This is a great resource, but without use of a phone it is nearly impossible to use in addition to being extremely impractical. It's frustrating that I can't use it to the full extent given that I know my district pays a lot of money for the resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is TalkingPoints solving and how is that benefiting you? Comminicating with families who spoke a language that was different than mine without always needing to get a third person involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don't have any dislikes about TP but I would recommend maybe adding more languages so that we are able to speak to different families! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
