Introduction

The Keypoint Scanning Module is an optional add-on that lets you scan printed surveys and input them automatically into Keypoint ready to be analysed.

It is fully integrated with Keypoint and has been designed with the same emphasis on ease of use, flexibility and reliability.

Surveys are scanned quickly and accurately, saving you time and money on manual data entry and significantly improving the accuracy of your response data.

KeyPoint 5.5 Scanning Improvements

Keypoint 5.5 offers a 30% boost in scanning accuracy compared with previous versions of the software, and is over 60% more accurate than other comparable survey scanning solutions - some costing up to 10 times the price of KeyPoint.

Desktop Survey Scanning now requires significantly less memory; runs complex form recognition tasks up to 25% faster than previously and offers up to 30% greater accuracy on complex recognition tasks such as ICR data extraction from survey forms.

Greater Accuracy

The Keypoint integrated scanning module will ensure greater accuracy from your results by:

• Quickly finding and isolating answers that are inconsistent, such as when a respondent has failed to follow instructions correctly. This data will be clearly marked as dirty data for checking and editing later, if required.

• Ensuring there are no restrictions on the suitability of your survey design for scanning. Keypoint will check your design for scanning compatibility and if it finds a problem correct it automatically.

• Seamlessly integrating the scanned data into the Keypoint response database.

Improved Productivity

The Keypoint integrated scanning module will improve productivity by:

• Removing the need to install a third party scanning program.

• Removing the need for slow and laborious manual data entry.

• Simplifying the entire scanning process by checking and amending your survey form before you print and publish it.

Increased Flexibility

The Keypoint integrated scanning module will provide increased flexibility by:

• Storing the original image for audit purposes so that you can view it with the response for checking and editing.

• Ensuring that your questionnaires are not restricted to 'tick-box marks' (OMR). Keypoint can recognise hand-printed text (ICR) and machine printed text (OCR), so you can incorporate multiple choice, text, numeric and many other question types into your survey.

• Using a state-of-the-art scanning engine – the incredibly high accuracy of the results means that you will need to make very few OMR amendments.

• Providing scanning support for bitmap images, ideal for importing scans that have been dropped into a network folder by a network scanner.
