Time to get emotional

Voice is the most intuitive, natural and efficient way to communicate. It’s also an emotional microscope.

And here at Askia we are delighted…

But for many survey programmers, they’re low-hanging fruit left on the vine, just waiting to be picked. By tapping into these services, survey programmers can provide functionality that would have taken many hours or days to set up. Whether displaying extra information about the subject…
