There are many possible ways your organization can capture data: printed forms sent through the mail, internet-based surveys, email-based surveys, telephone surveys, and in-person surveys using a PDA or tablet PC. Sentenium can design any type of form or survey for any medium and has for many different types of organizations.

Unlike some survey research and data processing vendors, in the print realm, Sentenium offers both OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) options. With OMR, you are able to capture marks, and with OCR, you are also able to capture images and text. Should your research project involve low- or high-volume scanning of printed forms, Sentenium can explain the pros and cons of each technology and recommend the best option given your specific requirements.

Sentenium’s flexibility allows your organization to take on whichever functions it desires in the survey process. For example, other research and processing vendors may insist on assuming the entire logistical process because their technology and equipment require it. Our advanced technology and equipment does not.

If you want to print or mail your surveys on your own, working with Sentenium, you can. Sentenium will design and set up the survey forms and process them once you send the completed surveys back to our facility. In the case of printing, certain situations will require Sentenium to handle the printing for quality assurance purposes. One example would be projects involving OMR surveys because those surveys have special ink and paper requirements.

Sentenium's flexibility benefits organizations regardless of size. Larger organizations may need survey research and data processing help but don't need to outsource every stage of the cycle. More significantly, smaller organizations who could not previously afford these services now can afford them.
