Scanning Paper Surveys
More information on Paper Surveys
Want us to set up the survey and scan the responses for you? Full service scanning services.
SurveyPro creates a scannable version of your survey, which you copy and distribute. When responses come back, they are scanned in with an image scanner. Scanning software is used to convert the page images to a data file, which is then imported back into SurveyPro for analysis and reporting.
- Easy-to-use: just enter the question text and select a scale. There are 32 predefined scales, including agreement scales, yes/no, importance, date, open-ended, etc. You can modify an existing scale or create your own. SurveyPro will lay out the survey for you, aligning checkboxes and inserting answer blanks.
- Accuracy: you can change your questionnaire layout to a scannable format as easily as changing from "portrait" to "landscape." SurveyPro will lay out the page with bubbles instead of checkboxes and make sure there is sufficient white space for low error rates with standard OMR or OCR scanning software.
- Plain paper surveys: no need for expensive special forms – surveys can be printed on whichever paper you prefer, photocopied, and even faxed!
- Custom forms: include your own logos, fonts, graphics, and branding – all without confusing the scanner.
- Integrates with other media: want to use both paper and web? Create two versions of the same survey, adjust the layout for each publish method, and analyze them both together.
- Scanning features: SurveyPro supports the use of block printing boxes with optional bubble grids below, alphanumeric bubbles, and even barcodes for linking outside information about your respondents.
We resell the Remark Office OMR 6.0 software for use with SurveyPro. We have verified that it works well with our software. Other scanning packages will work as well, as long as they can create a .csv file for importing data back into SurveyPro.
