What do you like best about Phonic?

Love how easy it is to create reports with the results from the survey. They look good and are meaningful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phonic?

I hope that Phonic provides more flexibility in formatting surveys. For example, bolding text, changing fonts, etc. These are little things that help surveys stand out. Company brand and colors are important for consistency in communicating with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phonic:

Look at the core of Phonic and the audio component. Don't worry about the formatting options as you want to make data collection easy for your target audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm using Phonic to get a pulse on how owners think and feel about creating community in a mid-sized building which is a cooperative. Also using Phonic for gathering insights about working remotely and to to get reviews from guests who have stayed in vacation rentals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from David Ferris of Phonic

Hey Lia, thanks for your feedback!

We've worked to make Phonic survey themes look great out of the box, but as you mentioned many users want even further customization. At the moment premium users can edit both the background color and upload custom branded images, and further customization is possible with custom HTML.

You can see how to do this using the doc linked below.

What do you like best about Phonic?

I was looking for a tool that would easily and quickly allow users to submit a large number of short audio files. Phonic has proven to be an excellent tool for this purpose and my test users reported being very happy with the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phonic?

The audio quality with submission via phone was of poor quality and I had to request users to resubmit their audio clips using a laptop or desktop. I would also like to give users the option to submit survey answers via text response OR audio, but it seems at the moment that including both requires them to make submissions through both formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phonic:

Phonic has many features that seem to make it an ideal tool for user testing. The instant record function can be used for authentic think-aloud user testing without having to be synchronous Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Phonic solving and how is that benefiting you?

Phonic has saved my users a lot of time to submit audio clips and made it easier for me to use them on the backend because they are all consolidated in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phonic?

I love that Phonic allows me to prepare an online survey, including pictures and customizing the design exactly as I want it in straightforward steps. It is a great user-friendly tool!

I engage in sociolinguistic research, and the pandemic had a considerable impact on the ways I collect data. I could not interview participants face-to-face, and that was a huge problem. With Phonic I can do that, and what's even better, I can also avoid the observer's paradox by having participants reply to the survey in a time of their choosing, without seeing an unfamiliar face in front of them, and while they're in the comfort of their own home. It's just fantastic.

Moreover, the staff at Phonic are great at getting back to you whenever you have a question in a matter of minutes! It is a great tool, and I only wish I had come across it earlier.

For all these reasons, I strongly recommend Phonic to anybody looking to collect oral data online. I intend to continue using Phonic even after the pandemic is over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phonic?

The only criticism I have is that it could be more convenient to have some alternative subscription plans. A 3-month, or even a 6-month, plans could be great in preparation for data collection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Phonic solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main issue I'm solving is the limitations to in-person data collection imposed during by the pandemic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phonic?

quick response, flexible towards our needs and very friendly. We had a very bad experience with another provider who claimed that they could do anything but their service turned out horrible. Phonic was always fair in what they were able to offer and even outdelivered on our expectations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phonic?

nothing so far, it was a great experience. We always received a quick and accurate answer, even when it wasn't even their fault that there was an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phonic:

as long as it's a small startup, they are able to provide tailor-made solutions. I hope this doesn't change when they scale up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Phonic solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Phonic?

I used phonic for a survey of audio data collection, conducted for three months as part of my final year project. It can save in WAV type file, which is needed in the machine learning training process. Phonic really helps me in doing the survey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phonic?

I had to download each audio data individually from a respondent (I had 40 to 60 questions for each respondent). I wish it could download all the audio answers for each respondent for easy data management. It took me a long time to download the 40-60 responses. If I use the bulk media download, it will download all the respondents' data of the survey with random names generated in a file, which is a mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Phonic solving and how is that benefiting you?

I asked the respondent to read selected keywords for the voice recognition application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
