"Great Experience!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

The [eventual] relationship we'll be able to create between our products and how attentive our rep (Erin) has been with getting us onboarded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

In Google Sheets, we relied heavily on directly tagging people with messages/questions; it would be great if stickies could do this, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best (& Only) Tool for the Job"
5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

Talkoot is an application designed specifically with high-volume team-based writing in mind. Although it runs in your web browser, I would put it in the same league as essential standalone software such as Photoshop or Excel. Its clean interface is intuitively laid out and the more time you spend in it, the more you'll see how powerful it is.

I love how straightforward it is to write & make edits directly into a given field. All fields are plaintext, and a small red triangle displays & disappears to indicate your work has been saved to the server as soon as you exit the field. I never feel like I'm going to accidentally overwrite something important by scrolling carelessly in the browser (like in Google docs).

It's easy to track older versions, and to see who made which edits. I'm frequently filtering by multiple categories to make the most of the Bulk Edit and Find & Replace tool. The easy resizability of the columns makes Talkoot adaptable to your large monitor or your smaller laptop screen if you are working on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

Working in an extremely large job can make Talkoot run slowly. The Talkoot team has been responsive to feedback, and frequently updates & improves the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and flexible copy creation"
5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

Talkoot is a great collaboration tool. Many people/roles can work on the same copy and nothing is lost because all work is saved in the database as you go. Sticky notes plus a handy feedback box make tracking and implementing client feedback pretty simple...much easier than when I had to track all that stuff in an excel doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

The more expert you become at using the tool, the more efficient you become, and so the more you want even more customization to meet your work flow needs. I'd like to see more customization of filtering, flagging, and automatic actions. Would love to see some project management tools built in also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Morgan of Talkoot

Hi Karen –

Really appreciate this review and your thoughtful feedback. Increased automation and customization are right in line with where we’re planning to take Talkoot as we move forward, so these specific suggestions are really great to have. Thank you!

"Writing 50,000+ product descriptions a year is only possible because of Talkoot"
5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

Talkoot is a tool that handles volume really well, allowing our studio to deliver high-quality product content at scale. We work on tens of thousands of product descriptions a year and the workflow and functionality in Talkoot helps us consistently deliver accurate and credible content for our clients. For some clients, we deliver multiple versions of a product description (DTC, B2B, Catalog, Amazon) and Talkoot's relationships and carryovers functionality really simplifies that process for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

Something I'd love to see in the future is the ability to assign multiple reviewers at the same time. This would save our team time and simplify our process of getting client feedback and approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Morgan of Talkoot

Hi Molly –

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to write this! We've loved growing with you guys over the years and tackling all of the complexities that come with high-volume product content together :)

We’re with you on the desire for multiple simultaneous reviews – that one is definitely on our to-do list!

"Talkoot connects the dots"
5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

We research, write, edit and proofread a lot of product descriptions. Thousands of them every season. We used to do this in Excel, which was painful for project managers and everyone else. Version control was always a juggling act. Images had to be viewed separately. Now we have one place where info and images live, and where multiple people including our clients can work on the same product, while the system tracks changes in the background. No sweat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

Spell-check has been a work in progress, and sometimes the suggested changes are, I'd say, whimsical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Morgan of Talkoot

Hi Anna –

So good to hear that Talkoot has saved you time and (more importantly) stress! As we continue to build out Brandcheck functionality we'll be phasing out the current spellcheck function, which should resolve any oddball suggestions. We hope to have that ready for you soon!

"High-volume (50K+ a year) product description management made easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

Talkoot allows me visibility into all copy projects my PMs are managing. I can find any products we have in production or have worked on in the past. Changing previously delivered copy is easy. In the past, we managed this in Excel sheets spread across several people. Making changes to something previously delivered was a monumental undertaking. Now everything is right there at our fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

Search results do not show what wasn't found in the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Morgan of Talkoot

Hi Liz –

We were so happy to read this and to know Talkoot is helping with all those pesky content-production problems. Especially good to hear Talkoot is making copy corrections easier on you! We will definitely log your request for un-found search results too - that's a great suggestion.

"Works ok, needs improvement"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

I appreciate the ease of getting to what I need to approve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

It doesn't allow me to provide precise copy edits with the accuracy that I like. I would like to be able to do more than copy-paste the copy on a box and change it... would rather show the changes / edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Morgan of Talkoot

Hi Isabel,

Thanks so much for the review and the feedback. We are hoping to add text-specific feedback in the coming months. We'll keep you posted on those developments!

"Excellent Platform for Organization & Communication"
5/5
What do you like best about Talkoot?

I love the feature that emails you when there is new copy to be reviewed. Always helpful to stay on top of what still needs feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkoot?

It would be nice to be able to have more of my team members access the platform or make their edits right to the text instead of in the comment box. then I can review before hitting "resubmit" to our agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Morgan of Talkoot

So happy to hear that Talkoot has helped you stayed organized and on track! Simplifying the approval process is important to us, thanks for the great feedback.
