New software package makes satisfaction surveys quick and easy
Southampton-based Kendata
Peripherals has introduced a new software
package that has been designed to simplify the whole process
of carrying
out satisfaction surveys in education, healthcare, commerce
and industry.
Known as AutoData Survey,
the new Windows-based package creates surey
forms, reads data from the forms into a computer, and then
automatically
generates a variety of clearly presented reports on which
to base actions
for performance improvement.
To make survey design as easy as possible, AutoData Survey
provides useful
features such as a choice of standard response scales and
automatic
generation of response circles. The software recognises almost
any type
of response mark in the circles including ticks, crosses
and lines and
captures handwritten comments as TIFF images.
Once the forms have been filled in, they are simply scanned
into a
computer using the bundled-in Canon DR-3020 scanner. Then,
with a click
of the mouse button, the software automatically generates
a trend report,
a histogram report or a comments report. Any of the reports
can focused
on a selected group of respondents, depending on their answers
to
particular questions. In addition, data can be saved as a
comma-delimited
ASCII text file for exporting to a spreadsheet or database.
A demo of AutoDATA Survey can be downloaded from Kendataûs
