Mobile Dial Testing for Researchers: Capture Real-Time Feedback on Any Device, Anywhere
![]()
Researchers can’t afford to miss a moment of audience insight. In our mobile-first world, those moments often happen on smartphones. Whether you’re testing ads, speeches, messaging, or multimedia content, you can capture real-time Moment-to-Moment feedback from participants on any device, anywhere — smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop — with Perception Analyzer® Online (PA Online).
Why This Matters for Researchers, Strategists and Consultants
Mobile participation opens the door for market researchers, litigation consultants, academic researchers, political consultants, advertisers, and media researchers, to younger, more diverse, and often harder-to-reach audiences, including low-IR (incidence rate) groups, rural respondents, and international participants. This translates to:
- Broader participant reach across geographies and key demographics
- Higher participation and completion rates
- Faster survey fielding and turnaround
- Truly real-time feedback, captured on any preferred device
Participants don’t need to wait until they’re at a desktop. With PA Online, dial testing happens in real-world environments, wherever and whenever they engage with media whether on the couch, commuting, or at their desk.
