We capture quantitative and all other closed response data fields through OMR (optical mark read) technology. OMR is an advanced method of data capture, which involves the technology of electronically extracting data from marked fields, such as checkboxes and fill-in fields on printed forms. It is widely acknowledged as the most accurate process for collecting closed response data. Editing and data validation options during survey scanning will further heighten the quality of your data and reduce the need for onerous backend data processing. We continually monitor and calibrate our OMR scanning equipment to certify accuracy.

Open-ended response fields can be provided on-screen for highly efficient transfer to data files. This is known as ‘key from image’ and is the most accurate and efficient method of capturing open-ended survey data. Full-page, archived images of survey pages are an option for uploading, viewing and linking to customer files. Barcoded data can be instantly captured to determine the depth and split of respondents and applied back to image and data files for identification and retrieval.

For all your forms processing and survey scanning needs, there’s no doubt about it - Creative Data Solutions is the ideal choice.
