Scanning

Looking for a way to turn your piles of paper surveys into accessible digital data? Key Survey provides a high-volume, integrated survey scanning solution that eases the transition from paper to pixels.

Scanning comes in handy after your respondents have completed your paper survey. At this point, you need to capture the data and put it into an easy-to-use format. Capturing survey data with Key Survey's scanning service virtually eliminates the need for manual entry. It is faster, more accurate, and less expensive than traditional data entry methods.

Regardless of whether your surveys originate within your organization or with distributed knowledge workers, external customers, or partners, Key Survey's scanning technology will manage your project efficiently.

Our solution enables you to seamlessly collect survey response data from multiple sources- including the Web, fax, paper, and PDF.

In addition, all original scanned images may be stored for auditing purposes. As a result, you can view your edit or do a quality check on your files at any time.

You can design your surveys or forms on your own or use one of a number of survey templates that come with your Key Survey application.

Once designed, you can print your surveys, export them to the Web (HTML), turn them into a PDF, or distribute them by fax.

Forms and surveys can be printed and managed directly by Key Survey and shipped to you, or you can print your surveys directly from your account for immediate use.

If you print your survey or form directly, we recommend using a Key Survey supplied PDF of the survey. You can also submit an example of your customized survey to Key Survey before using it, in order to ensure its suitability. In many instances, Key Survey can scan a paper survey or form even if it wasn't printed with scanning in mind.
