What IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Offers

IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Entry Interviewer provides sophisticated functionality that allows operators to enter data quickly and accurately using a configurable, keyboard-driven data entry interface that can be used in face-to-face interviews or simple data capture and which minimizes the number of mouse clicks for greater speed and productivity.

• Enter data quickly and accurately with a configurable, keyboard-driven data entry interface
• Gain visibility into data entry through validation verification, including double keying
• Batch surveys to enable many operators to key data for a single project, or for faster data entry for large projects
• Allow data capture specialists to work on several projects simultaneously
• Present surveys to respondents in the field using multimedia and customized look-and-feel to capture data electronically – even where Internet access is not available.
• Stop and re-start data capture, and keep track of the status of different projects
• Save data ready for analysis as an IBM SPSS Data Collection Data File or an IBM SPSS Statistics data file

Highlights

• Single keystrokes replace multi-stroke actions – Actions that previously needed multiple keystrokes (e.g., Alt+P for Previous) can now be accomplished with a single user-defined keystroke as well
• Automatic advancement – Data entry is even faster with the option to automatically advance to the next question when a single response is entered, or to automatically insert separator characters for multiple response questions
• Changing languages – Multi-lingual research is easier with questions that change the language of subsequent questions and answers
• “If block” routing – Create complex logical routings using the conditional statements If, Else and Else If
