How to Buy Forms
iNSIGHT™ 150 Scanner:
Speed,
Accuracy & Value
High-volume scanner delivers the best price performance in the industry
When you need to collect vast amounts of data quickly and accurately,
turn to the iNSIGHT 150 scanner—a high performance scanner
with speeds up to 250 pages per minute.
The iNSIGHT 150 interprets
optical mark read (OMR), hand- and machine-printed characters, bar
code, and mark sense. With the iNSIGHT 150, you get
the best performance for the price from a trusted source—we've
been manufacturing industry-leading scanning systems for more than
50 years.
Save Processing Time. Capture images and OMR data
in a single pass through the scanner. You can gather multiple choice,
objective test, or survey responses at the same time you capture
images of short answers to constructed response items on tests or
comments on survey forms.
Tie Images to Data Records. Images can be tied to an
OMR data record, archived, and retrieved later for review or evaluation.
Route essays, survey comments, and other images to reviewers for final
evaluations.
Design Forms for Efficiency. Because the scanner reads
both handprint and machine printed characters, you can design data collection
forms to be more aesthetically pleasing and make better use of space. End
users will also thank you for not requiring them to fill in large bubble
grids for name, address, ID numbers, and the like.
Pre-print Encoded Data. Lessen the amount of data you
require from form users by pre-printing encoded data. You can also verify
and cross-reference data to external databases by reading pre-printed bar
codes, mark sense, and binary coded numbers.
Meet Accuracy Standards
The following technologies help you meet accuracy standards
with the least amount of effort on your part.
- Picture Perfect™ - ensures that hand- and
machine-print characters are quickly and accurately interpreted by
minimizing the effects of mechanical distortions.
- Image Quality Sentry™ - minimizes the accumulation
of inferior quality images.
These features operate as each sheet is scanned. They are transparent
to the user and are designed to improve the accuracy of data without
slowing the scanning process. Further, these features minimize the
amount of post-processing required; thereby, optimizing the total production.
Fast and Productive
Our mid- and high-volume
iNSIGHT scanners perform many tasks
at the scanner, and as a result, improve efficiency and minimize costly
errors:
- Dynamic Deskew™ and Image
Skew Sentinel features reduce the
occurrence of sheet skew errors
- Gray-box Search processes only fields that contain
data. Or, it can isolate forms that are missing critical fields,
like a signature.
- Optical character recognition (OCR) increases data productivity
by reading pre-printed characters while scanning in real time. This
avoids the need for pre-slugging data.
Image Formats Meet Industry Standards
Included with every iNSIGHT system is ScanTools® Plus
scanning software for developing forms scanning applications. In addition,
the system outputs industry-standard image formats which are fully
compatible with most archival/retrieval systems.
ScanTools Plus software verifies booklet identification and sheet
sequence as each sheet passes through the scanner—another fail-safe
to help ensure that the highest quality data is captured.
Data Collection Methods
With an iNSIGHT scanner, you choose the methods of data
collection that best meet your needs:
- Mark sense (bubbles, checks, tick marks)
- Bar code
- Gray-box search (there/not there)
- Key from image (for open-ended questions or comments)
- Gray-scale image capture for viewing drawings, photographs, and
signatures
- Dropout colors to enable both pencil and ink read capabilities
- Handprint and machine print characters interpreted and converted
to ASCII data.
- 16-level OMR mark discrimination evaluates the relative darkness
of a mark in order to discriminate between smudges and erasures
and valid marks.
