Is it possible to present a text stimulus and let participants mark words/phrases within it?

Question

Hi there, for our newest study we would like to present participants with a text and let them mark certain words and passages that seem especially important to them. It would allow us to collect raw data in the shape of a 0 or 1 for each word presented in a session, depending on whether it was marked or not. Is this possible in SoSciSurvey? So far, we have not been able to find a way... Thank you very much for your help!

Answer 1

Another project last year did that by using the "Visual Placements" question. However, the number of words to be marked is quite limited (at least if you want them in the described data format).

Another option would be the (rather new) question typ "SVG selection". If you created the text as SVG image (e.g. using InkScape) and make each word a separate object, then the respondents would be able to select single words. All of them, if they liked. Although this would work quite fine, I assume it will be some work to create the SVG.
