Data Entry Services

If you send out survey forms, standard response cards, application or order forms then the extraction of data from them can be automated and entry costs can be reduced substantially.

Our software can read barcodes, machine printed (OCR) text, hand printed (ICR) text, OMR codes and can even verify addresses and signatures.
If you are a mail order company or have to handle customer survey forms then you are familiar with the problem of having thousands of forms being returned to you and having to manually enter information from them into a database or other system.
DataCap offers a full forms processing service from design and printing to mailroom receipt of returns the final data capture and analysis of results.

The systems we use can cope with thousands of daily returns and accuracy is guaranteed by duplicate computer OCR recognition and manual visual checking/correction.
There are often varied data or those having a poor quality, which make it hard to guarentee the sucess of automatic BARCODE/OCR/ICR/OMR or form capture. In these cases, manual data key will be required.

We also accept scanned documents from existing clients and we will index these according to your own specifications.
