The idea of the task that I am trying to create is that the participant is presented with with a sentence that contains a root word e.g. “The teach taught her students”. The participant is then to complete the sentence by in this case adding a suffix to the word teach and turning it into “teacher”. 

The issue I am having, is making it so that Qualtrics record the letters typed and the reaction time of each letter. Furthermore, to make things even more complicated, I also want a separate version of this task, that is in Mandarin. 

 

Is this even possible through Qualtrics? If not, I’d be grateful for any other ideal software.

@dmaitland,

Yes, it is possible. However, you would need to write JavaScript to do it.
