Save time and increase accuracy with IBM SPSS Data Collection Scan
When you scan paper questionnaires, you avoid the costs and quality-control issues inherent in manual processing.

- Prepare surveys for scanning with just a few mouse clicks, keeping the survey validation intact
- Automate the identification and setup of all respondent input areas of your survey questionnaire, such as tick boxes, letters, and numbers for optical mark reading (OMR) or optical character recognition (OCR)
- Ensure proper validation of each response with the appropriate question and question type automatically
- Work seamlessly with the popular ReadSoft® DOCUMENTS for FORMS scanning and document management solution
Provide survey respondents with flexible options
Increase survey response rates by giving respondents options. Offering the choice of completing a survey by phone or online is appealing to many participants, especially if they don’t need to repeat the parts of the survey they’ve already completed. You can do this by using IBM SPSS Data Collection Paper with other interviewing products, such as IBM Data Collection Phone Interviews and IBM SPSS Data Collection Web Interviews.
