Category: Difference in Data Entry and Data Capture
Data capture is very similar to data entry, but used mostly on data sources that contain basic response types. Question styles like multiple choice, “yes-no” and bubble circles are typically processed via automated data capture. Data capture services produce quick turnaround times, and tend to cost significantly less because of the automated nature of the service.
