Market research software for audio masking and video blurring for security

Audio Masking and Video Blurring

Protecting your personal identifiable information or PII is important. Keep your participants’ voice confidential by using our Audio Masking service along with our Face Blurring feature that edits/blurs your respondents’ image so that they are not recognizable when the video is played back. This eliminates the possibility of your respondent being identified by the end client and further prevents their personal information from getting leaked.

Client Chat Capability

When you’re conducting a phone-only interview, your clients may want to listen in and observe, or even pass you messages and probing questions relevant to your on-going interview. Civicom Marketing Research Services can readily provide you with a webroom to be used for behind-the-scenes client chat during your phone-only studies, to simplify this communication process throughout each interview in your study.

Explore the active talker feature of Civicom's market research software for IDIs

Active Talker

Prevent misunderstandings from happening in audio IDIs and focus groups by viewing the Active Talker screen. By doing so, you are able to see by name who is speaking at all times during the interview and avoid participants from overlapping with one another. Furthermore, it eliminates the guesswork involved in figuring out who is talking at any given moment and helps the host or moderator keep track of the discussion.

Transcriptions

Focus on facilitating your IDIs and focus groups instead of note-taking through our TranscriptionWing. You can rely on our team of expert transcriptionists who offer transcriptions at an affordable rate without sacrificing its accuracy and quality. Requesting a transcript is also just a few clicks away. Check out our latest features, such as ListenLink™ that helps capture every spoken word possible.
