eScribe Reviews

I like that it is converted to Words and that I can make changes in that manner. I also like that I can set up many meetings at once.

I find it not very user friendly, I do a lot of searching at times before I am able to find what I am looking for. Although, we are going to have a training session in the new year, this may help.

Easy minutes, bulk scheduling meetings and roll call.

It takes a bit to set up and the back end has a little learning curve. Once you learn it it's great.

There are many functions for minute taking. We are hoping to utilize the functions more than we have in the past.

I do not have issues with the interface but some of my co-workers are afraid to use it. The interface could be more user friendly. I find it difficult to create new templates and they all appear different even though the settings were the same as another template. Preview button is painful to use.

the ability to publish to participants,
the defer option to move an item to a future meeting,
the ability to reorder the meeting items,

the way that the text doubles uncontrollably,
the resolution shows on main page but in the edit button it disappears until entered into again,
the inability to track resolutions (I am not sure how others manage their resolutions to ensure completion or to see what resolutions are still "on the books"),
I would like to learn more about the software as I do not believe I am using it to it's full potential.

The more that I use the software the more I learn. You really need a comprehensive training program for your employees to make the most of the minutes software. It is difficult to use if you are not trained and do not use the program frequently.

They are working on making the program more user friendly.

- Ease of use / very user friendly.
- Conducting a meeting / webstreaming is effortless.
- Voting features through the eSCRIBE App works very well, especially when a member of Council is unable to attend a meeting.
- Public being able to live stream a meeting through a tablet or smart phone. Demonstrates transparency.

The software works well for what we require from an electronic management system. We have no issues. Very pleased with the product.

I like that everything is together in one document. The system is secure and confidential. The system is accessible from wherever meeting attendees are located.

The program does not move fast enough. Taking minutes can be held up. The curser jumps around at times. Changing spacing in documents is clunky and has to be done each time. Processing task lists continues to be an issue.

Curating details, writing notes, and making agendas for meetings used to take a while, but with this software it made the process much faster and easier. I also found that they have more functions than other softwares.

It is not the most user-friendly for a new user, it is a bit difficult to search / find some functions you want.

Ease to create agendas and the task management allows us to keep track of outstanding issues from every meeting. We are looking forward to seeing the product in HTML.

Formatting issues arise with the minutes due to the tables. Sometimes it is frustrating resolving these issues and it takes time when rushing to complete the minutes.

Workflows to approve reports, ability to do a lot of the technical stuff on my own without the assistance of an IT department.

I seem to get an issue with "incorrect file structure" in the PDFs whenever I try to do anything with the PDF afterwards

I like the ease of use of the software. I like the added functions with the latest upgrade.

We lost some functionality after the last upgrade. eSCRIBE support took care of the issue we experienced right away.

It totally eliminates the need to print an agenda. Contributors upload easily and directly.
More work prior to a meeting, but less work afterwards.

Slow during meetings. Trying to find a report in the "added" is a bit of a challenge, even with filters. Still the occasional glitch. I am sure there are features that I am not aware of and not using. Follow up training - review with eScribe staff would be useful.

user friendly with many useful functions

no issues with using the escribe software

The most I like about this software its give seamless offline experience as well. It handles every details about the meeting very efficiently and specially its voting management is the great feature to experience.

Product has all the features we are looking for and Customers service is always courteous and quick to solve any issues we encounter.
