Claims (48)

1. A method comprising:

generating, based on an audio recording provided by a user, a packaged questionnaire comprising a textual prompt, a digital selectable option for an audio prompt corresponding to a question of a questionnaire, and the audio prompt;

providing, to a client device, the packaged questionnaire, wherein the packaged questionnaire causes the client device to:

display the textual prompt and the digital selectable option for the audio prompt within a first graphical user interface;

based on receiving an indication of a selection of the digital selectable option, generate an audible production of the audio prompt reciting the question within the first graphical user interface; and

navigate to a second graphical user interface from the first graphical user interface to display one or more response choices to the question while generating the audible production of the audio prompt, wherein the second graphical user interface is different from the first graphical user interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the client device, an audio input comprising a response to the question;

based on receiving the audio input, accessing a management tree that maps responses to a plurality of questions corresponding to the questionnaire;

identifying an additional question of the questionnaire from among the plurality of questions based on the response; and

providing, to the client device, an additional packaged questionnaire comprising an additional textual prompt, an additional digital selectable option for an additional audio prompt corresponding to the additional question, and the additional audio prompt.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein identifying the additional question from among the plurality of questions comprises determining that the management tree maps the response to the additional question corresponding to the additional audio prompt.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating the audible production of the audio prompt further comprises generating an additional audible production of the one or more response choices, displayed in the second graphical user interface, to the question.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein receiving, from the client device, the audio input comprising the response to the question comprises receiving the audio input indicating a response choice from among the one or more response choices, displayed in the second graphical user interface, to the question.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the selection of the digital selectable option comprises a single-click action on the digital selectable option.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending a push notification corresponding to the questionnaire to the client device; and

providing, to the client device, the packaged questionnaire based on receiving an indication of a selection of the push notification.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audible production of the audio prompt continues to recite the question on the second graphical user interface.

9. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

generate, based on an audio recording provided by a user, a packaged questionnaire comprising a textual prompt, a digital selectable option for an audio prompt corresponding to a question of a questionnaire, and the audio prompt;

provide, to a client device, the packaged questionnaire, wherein the packaged questionnaire causes the client device to:

display the textual prompt and the digital selectable option for the audio prompt within a first graphical user interface;

based on receiving an indication of a selection of the digital selectable option, generate an audible production of the audio prompt reciting the question within the first graphical user interface; and

navigate to a second graphical user interface from the first graphical user interface to display one or more response choices to the question while generating the audible production of the audio prompt, wherein the second graphical user interface is different from the first graphical user interface.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

receive, from the client device, an audio input comprising a response to the question;

based on receiving the audio input, identify an additional question of the questionnaire from among a plurality of questions based on the response; and

provide, to the client device, an additional packaged questionnaire comprising an additional textual prompt, an additional digital selectable option for an additional audio prompt corresponding to the additional question, and the additional audio prompt.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein identifying the additional question from among the plurality of questions comprises accessing a management tree that maps responses to the plurality of questions corresponding to the questionnaire.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein generating the audible production of the audio prompt further comprises generating an additional audible production of the one or more response choices, displayed in the second graphical user interface, to the question.

13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to receive, from the client device, the audio input indicating a response choice from among the one or more response choices, displayed in the second graphical user interface, to the question.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein generating the packaged questionnaire comprises:

generating the audio prompt based on the audio recording provided by the user; and

generating the textual prompt by automatically transcribing the audio recording to text.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the audible production of the audio prompt continues to recite the question on the second graphical user interface.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to:

generate, based on an audio recording provided by a user, a packaged questionnaire comprising a textual prompt, a digital selectable option for an audio prompt corresponding to a question of a questionnaire, and the audio prompt;

provide, to a client device, the packaged questionnaire, wherein the packaged questionnaire causes the client device to:

display the textual prompt and the digital selectable option for the audio prompt within a first graphical user interface;

based on receiving an indication of a selection of the digital selectable option, generate an audible production of the audio prompt reciting the question within the first graphical user interface; and

navigate to a second graphical user interface from the first graphical user interface to display one or more response choices to the question while generating the audible production of the audio prompt, wherein the second graphical user interface is different from the first graphical user interface.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to receive, from the client device, an audio input comprising a response to the question.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein generating the audible production of the audio prompt further comprises generating an additional audible production of the one or more response choices, displayed in the second graphical user interface, to the question.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the indication of the selection of the digital selectable option comprises a single-click action on the digital selectable option.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the audible production of the audio prompt continues to recite the question on the second graphical user interface.
