Accuracy of data input

Printed questionnaires - Preparing questionnaires using a computer would be more convenient using a keyboard input compared to handwriting then scanning . Not only does it allow people to edit changes but a keyboard entry allows clarity and uniformity of questionnaires which is essential for the questionnaire to achieve its objective because it can generate the needed responses from the target interviewees that are comparative .Telephone survey - Just like any sound data , a voice recording software i .e . Sound Forge that records sound from an analogue source i .e

br microphone and converts them to digital data for storage to computer is best for recording sound so that data can be spontaneously captured

Bank checks - The MICR magnetic ink character recognition was actually developed primarily to facilitate the processing of checks . The use of magnetic inks makes checks tamper proof using ordinary inks , hence ensures greater security for the bank document that is used as a major substitute to cold cash . Moreover , the MICR characters have significant control features such as terminator and routing codes (Parker et al 2001

Retail tags - Using optical scanners , the barcode technology is still the best way to input data for retail tags because it provides the fastest way to auto identify commodities instead of typing them one by one

Long documents - Instead of retyping long and old documents usually archives , it can be scanned and converted to JPEG or PDF s for storage and easy retrieval
