Phonic for Academics.

Join thousands of academic researchers from hundreds of top universities like Stanford, MIT and Harvard.
Phonic is the perfect solution for adding audio recording abilities to your online experiments simply because we built Phonic for Academics. The earliest version of Phonic was launched within academic research circles at Stanford and the University of Waterloo. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we helped thousands of individual researchers transition their in-person research online, building features specifically to support academic use cases.
The best part: we offer Phonic at-cost to students and academic researchers.

I love how versatile Phonic is. I have been able to embed Phonic surveys and recorders into a Qualtrics survey for my research. It’s very easy to use and the Phonic documents lay everything out for you. The customer service is unparalleled! They respond to email so quickly, fix problems and troubleshoot code, and take suggestions seriously.
