Teleform refers to a complete software suite that is a highly intelligent system used to capture data. It is useful in minimizing data entry and any other manual processes associated with form processing. This software was originally known as Cardiff teleform but now it is owned by Hewlett Packard.
There are several features that are integrated within the application that make it very effective. These include cornerstones which are four black boxes that are located at each corner of the form. These boxes are used or positioning and they are not to be tampered with. There is also a digital code at every corner used in the identification of the forms. There is a serial number which is a seven digit number which is used in connecting forms that have many pages and in tracking individual forms based on the serial number.
This software is particularly effective in the process of capturing human written data or values from sources such as papers and incorporating it into the specific business applications. It is an important aid during surveys and in the gathering and analysis of information using questionnaires. This process is very demanding leading to greater chances of errors occurring and therefore this software offers the best solution by making it not only quick but also more accurate.
The data is collected by recording it onto a form which is then faxed into the system. This application has an interface that scans and verifies the associated documents. These documents, usually forms are classified into different categories, recognized, verified and then transferred into a more reliable, searchable and accurate structured electronic data that is convenient to the business processes.
There are a number of sequential steps that have to be followed in the processing of forms and this is referred to as the data processing cycle. This involves completing the form, inspecting for any values that may be missing, validating the data and making any necessary corrections and faxing it to the server. The application carries out the evaluation process on the data and then converts it to the most appropriate format. The validation process is then followed by sending it to the database where it is stored.
This software handles a variety of tasks like scanning of images, creation of machine readable forms, providing access to images generated by other applications and allowing uses to make changes and facilitating the storage of these forms in the database. Technological advancement has led to the creation of more sophisticated software that is capable of taking care of on-line questionnaires by responding via the telephone. Others allow users to design or template forms using existing ones.
The functionality of this software relies to a great extent on other technologies. It makes use of four optical technologies in the processing of the forms. These are optical mark recognition, bar code recognition, optical character recognition and the intelligent character recognition. The use of image scanners makes the process of designing forms more flexible and also allows for the scanning and conversion of hand-written responses into text.
Teleform provides several benefits compared to other automated data entry applications. It is more reliable, simple to use with minimal possibilities of errors occurring and less maintenance costs are involved. It also has the ability to read documents with low quality, a high document classification capability and field recognition which reduces manual processing.
