It makes the process very adaptable to other similar projects. > > **Cons**: When I use typical symbols such as "\&," the software is confused and substitutes words that don't make sense. > > I am satisfied with the software. I wish there were training videos for identifying what should be linked and how when writing new template specifications. Also, a training video that explains where all the specification details and assemblies originate and how they are connected to the product. ----- ### "DR SpecLink Review" — 3.0/5 > **Dan** | *1 April 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most features fairly closely mimic MSWord which makes it simple to use. Easy to remove sections and paragraphs from specs/documents. > > **Cons**: Editor notes are difficult to recognize. Not intuitive to be able to copy and paste Word content into SpecLink documents. Printing documents could be more user friendly. > > Overall good experience. Most of the features are simple and easy to understand and use. Easy to set up project documentation using SpecLink. ----- ### "Longtime loyal subscriber" — 5.0/5 > **Jill** | *1 April 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Speclink for the past 10 years and find it easy to use and easy to modify to meet my company's needs. I appreciate the appropriately restrained level of detail in the content making it more user-friendly, the linking between parts and sections which reduces conflicts and ensures a higher level of coordination throughout our documents and formatting and printing features which greatly reduce time. It truly makes the documentation process more efficient, which allows us to spend our time on the things that matter - sharing our knowledge and contributing to a project's success. > > **Cons**: I wish I could search the whole database for a specific product I've used before, that isn't in my master, but I want to find again. I also wish I could export directly into my project folder, rather than a download folder. > > I've really enjoyed using Speclink and highly recommend it. As an independent specifier, I've been asked to work in other programs from time to time based on a client's preferences, and those have only made me appreciate Speclink more. I also like that RIB will listen to feedback and are constantly working to make the program better. ----- ### "Easiest way to write specs." — 5.0/5 > **aaron** | *2 April 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really easy to use overall. The built-in references and content are super helpful, and it’s quick to put sections together without much effort. It also makes it easier to coordinate across different disciplines, which is a big plus. The included products and manufacturers are great too—even if they don’t always fit every project perfectly, they’re a solid starting point and definitely better than starting from scratch. > > **Cons**: Glitches with table of contents section; Content is somewhat limited for specialty systems/products. > > Fantastic. The platform has helped improve my spec writing and coordination. The master features are excellent tools. ----- ### "Nice spec writing software" — 4.0/5 > **Lan** | *1 April 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Complete specification sections and relatively easy to use, if you know the materials being used. I'd say not for someone that doesn't know the products. > > **Cons**: Inconsistency between sections, such as spelling, grammar, and formatting. Weirdness as never printing the end of section Odd Page for the last section in a project print. Allowing the manufacturer to put their name in the section title. Big issue with that. Issue with updates not finishing, shows multiple pending but unable to complete. The updates can be extremely tedious for existing Office Templates. You have to transfer any changes to a new file or view each line item change to make sure it doesn't write over something included in the Template section. > > Good specification program, could be better. Haven't tried the Revit coordination yet. That could be a game changer. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1021444/speclink?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1021444/speclink) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
