Now, you can either transcribe it yourself for free or use our transcription service.
The system will show you how many scan credits you have (1 card is 1000 credits). Select the option you prefer.

Step 4:
Now you will be on the Survey page, where you can set these questions up to trigger all kinds of actions. Once done, save the data and choose what action to be followed upon saving.
This is not so much for you to do an actual survey in front of the person you are talking to, but rather, as you do your Networking, you learn the key information you need, then fill in the survey yourself after you have parted company with the prospect. The key here is you can trigger a timed email follow up from the answers in your survey.
