## Reviews

### "Escribe is great value for the price" — 5.0/5

> **TERI** | *12 October 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy minutes, bulk scheduling meetings and roll call.
> 
> **Cons**: It takes a bit to set up and the back end has a little learning curve. Once you learn it it's great.

-----

### "Effective Board Management" — 4.0/5

> **Manpreet** | *21 August 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a lot of functions that help with governance in an organization, i.e. minutes template, embedding videos, etc. This was my first time using a board management software so it taught me quite a bit about governance documentation.
> 
> **Cons**: There were some "kinks" with some of the processes. I had to call customer support to get small things resolved or manually done from their side.
> 
> Now that I have used a few other board management softwares, eScribe wouldn't necessarily be my first choice as I have found the others to be more user-friendly. I will say however, that eScribe offers a variety of functions that are not available or cost extra with other software programs.

-----

### "eScribe - the Only Meeting Software you Need\!" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *11 January 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 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.
> 
> **Cons**: It is not the most user-friendly for a new user, it is a bit difficult to search / find some functions you want.
> 
> While it does improve meeting efficiency and engagement, the learning curve is a bit steep at first.

### "Escribe is not user friendly, but when I have a question I'm able to get my answers quick" — 4.0/5

> **Wanda** | *31 October 2017* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 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.
> 
> **Cons**: 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.
> 
> I find escribe to be a software that answers all needs when it comes to municipal meetings.  I would recommend it to with much confidence.

-----

### "eScribe review" — 3.0/5

> **Angela** | *27 September 2018* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are many functions for minute taking.  We are hoping to utilize the functions more than we have in the past.
> 
> **Cons**: 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.
> 
> Reduction in paper is great\!\! I look forward to using eScribe for report management.
