A comprehension check asks everyone listening to confirm that they understood, for example at the end of a safety briefing or a site induction. Listeners answer on the listener page in the language they listen in. You get an attendance record: who confirmed, in which language, when, and how many tries it took. You can print it, save it as a PDF, or download it as CSV for a spreadsheet or the safety file.
Comprehension checks are part of Pro (and Max and Enterprise). On Basic the card shows a link to the plans instead.
Making a check
On the event page, in the Comprehension checks card, press New check.
- Title: what the check is about, e.g. "Site induction, building A".
- What listeners confirm: the sentence each listener ticks, e.g. "I have understood the safety briefing."
- Ask for their company: for subcontractors and visitors. The company is then required and shows in the record.
- Questions (optional): up to 10 multiple-choice questions, each with 2 to 6 options. Select the right answer for each. A check with no questions is a plain confirmation of attendance and understanding.
Write the check in the language you speak. Listeners see it translated by AI into the language they listen in. The translation is made the first time a listener of that language opens it, and only into the languages your event offers. If a translation fails, listeners see the check as you wrote it.
Once anyone has answered, a check can no longer be edited, so the record always matches what was asked. Make a new check instead.
Opening and closing
A check is shown to listeners only while it's open.
- Press Open to listeners when you want answers, typically at the end of the talk. The speaker can also open and close checks from the speaker screen, in the side panel.
- A Please confirm card appears on every listener's page within a few seconds, above the player.
- Press Close when you're done. Late answers are then refused, and the record stays. Open again reopens it.
How listeners answer
- They type their name, and their company if you asked for it.
- They answer the questions and tick the statement.
- They press Confirm.
If every answer is right, they see the time it was recorded. If not, the wrong questions are marked and they can answer again; a listener has up to 10 tries. Once passed, their answer is final. Their name is remembered on their phone for the next check.
The attendance record
Press Record next to a check to see everyone who answered, oldest first: name, company, language, room (in an event with several rooms), result, number of tries and time. While the check is open the list updates by itself.
- Download CSV saves the record for a spreadsheet. It opens in Excel with names' accents intact. Times in the CSV are in UTC.
- Print or save as PDF opens the record on one page with the event, the statement and the questions with their right answers. Use the browser's print dialog to print it or save it as a PDF.
A listener who answered wrong and didn't try again shows as Not passed. Deleting a check deletes its record.
Limits worth knowing
- The record shows the name the listener typed. Spiiksi doesn't check identities; if that matters, check names against your own list of attendees.
- One phone counts as one listener. Two people can't both answer from the same phone: once one has passed, that phone shows the check as done. Each person should answer on their own phone.
- The questions are translated by AI. For safety-critical wording, keep questions short and plain, and check the translation by opening the listener page in that language before the event.
