SR Research WebLink review
A focused WebLink workflow for recording and synchronizing EyeLink browser studies.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SR Research WebLink is Windows software for EyeLink eye-tracker users running interactive-media eye-tracking research. It supports studies in which participants browse websites, use software, play online games, view images or videos, or complete questionnaires. The product is aimed at academic, usability, human-computer interaction, and applied research teams that need to record gaze alongside participant activity.
Its strongest fit is browser-based task work. A drag-and-drop interface supports task creation, while browser capture covers Chrome and Firefox. WebLink can record the screen in MP4 format, capture webcam or participant-camera video, and log mouse clicks, mouse position, and keystrokes. Hotkeys support recording messages and TTL synchronization, which adds useful control for studies that need event timing. Integration with EyeLink eye trackers and Data Viewer keeps collection and later review within the SR Research workflow. Unity and webcam support extend the product beyond basic browser capture.
The product also emphasizes visibility during collection: a dual-monitor live gaze preview provides an active view of participant gaze, with heat maps and interest-area overlays available as gaze visualizations. This makes WebLink a practical choice for teams focused on recording interactive behavior with synchronized eye-tracking data rather than building a broad experiment platform. A license is required, and SR Research offers limited-time demo licenses. Choose WebLink when EyeLink hardware, Windows, browser capture, and Data Viewer synchronization match the study design. Teams seeking a wider platform across operating systems or a general-purpose eye-tracking suite should consider a broader alternative.
