Question Types

When creating a survey, Phonic offers six different types of questions that can be accessed using the drop down menu. For a greater variety of question types, we recommend using one of our integrations with other survey platforms.

Selection

This component allows users to select between pre-defined options. If 'allow multiple selections' is specified, the user may select all options which apply. Otherwise, only a single selection may be made.

Open Text

In a text response, respondents are provided an open text box to type their response.

Audio

The audio survey component allows respondents to respond using only their voice. A full transcription can be generated from this response in addition to other voice analytics.

Think-Aloud

In the think aloud question type, respondents speak their thoughts as they type a free-text answer. The microphone starts recording immediately. This is most useful when a respondent should think aloud and not take any time to prepare their thoughts before clicking record.

Selection + Audio

In this question component respondents are prompted to make a selection and provide an audio explanation of their choice with voice.

Audio + Text

In an audio + text question, respondents are allowed to answer freely with text. Similar to the selection + audio option, respondents are prompted to explain their response with voice.
