Phonic pioneered voice-first surveys — and shut down in June 2025. Voice Capture keeps the part that mattered: respondents click a record button and speak, and you get automatic transcriptions — inside the survey tool you already use. Migrating a study takes minutes, not weeks.
Phonic, the voice-first survey platform used by qualitative researchers since 2019, was discontinued in June 2025. If your studies depend on audio open-ends — richer answers, tone, longer responses — you need a replacement that preserves that workflow without forcing respondents to install anything. That's exactly the gap Voice Capture was built for.
Respondents click one button and speak. No app installs, no account creation, works on mobile. A text fallback is always available for people who prefer to type.
Every recording is transcribed automatically with Whisper, with hallucination filtering built in. Transcripts appear in your dashboard seconds after each response.
Unlike Phonic, Voice Capture isn't another platform to migrate to. It embeds in Alchemer, Qualtrics, or any tool that allows custom HTML — you keep your survey logic, panel, and reporting.
If your Phonic account is still accessible, download your recordings, transcripts, and response data so nothing is lost. Keep them as local archives.
Recreate your questionnaire in Alchemer, Qualtrics, or any survey tool with custom HTML support — the tools your team probably already pays for.
Add one snippet to each open-ended question. Respondents get a record button, you get transcriptions and CSV/XLSX exports. Setup takes about 2 minutes.
No monthly platform fee. Start with 250 free credits (1 credit = 1 transcribed response), then buy one-time credit packs that never expire.

No — and for most teams that's the advantage. Voice Capture adds voice recording and transcription to the survey tool you already use (Alchemer, Qualtrics, or any tool with custom HTML), so you don't have to migrate your panel, logic, or reporting to yet another platform.
Voice Capture doesn't import Phonic archives — if you can still access your Phonic account, export your recordings and transcripts and keep them as files. Voice Capture takes over from your next study onward.
35 languages via Whisper, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Dutch. All paid plans include all languages.
Phonic charged a platform subscription. Voice Capture uses one-time credit packs: 250 free credits to start, then pay per transcribed response. Credits never expire and there's no monthly fee.
Voice Capture focuses on collection and transcription. For coding, themes, and sentiment at scale, it pairs with Survey Coder Pro (surveycoder.io) — the transcripts export directly into it.
