By Talkatoo
Talkatoo is a rapidly growing Canadian healthtech company that has established itself as a leading provider of AI-powered dictation and scribing solutions, targeted primarily at veterinary practices and animal health professionals. The platform is widely recognized for its seamless voice-to-text workflows, deep customization, rapid deployment, and user-centric approach designed to streamline clinical documentation and administrative processes.
Talkatoo specializes in cloud-based, cross-platform dictation and scribe software tailored to busy veterinary clinics, hospitals, and service providers. Its platform leverages advanced speech recognition and artificial intelligence to deliver accurate, real-time transcription, note automation, and client communication features—optimizing staff efficiency and improving the quality of patient records.
Talkatoo was founded by Shawn Wilkie in Halifax, Canada, growing out of the founder’s experience in veterinary technology and a vision to modernize clinical workflows through voice-driven solutions. Since launch, Talkatoo has expanded from a niche veterinary tool to a company serving hundreds of clinics and hospitals across North America, the UK, and Australia. The company’s growth has been fueled by a strong focus on usability, rapid onboarding, and close collaboration with veterinary practitioners.
