Glossary

Form: the blank, original document used to collect the information you want digitized (e.g., survey, questionnaire, test)

Blank form

Template: a blank master copy of your original form that is created and stored within Captricity and used to transcribe the information you want digitized

Field: each answer or response within your form

 

 

Completed forms: the paper documents that contain the information you want digitized (e.g., a stack of handwritten tests)

Images: image files you create of your completed forms. Captricity works by transcribing visual data so all files uploaded to our system must be saved in image-compatible formats (PDF, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG).

Image set: all pages of one completed form. For example, if your form is a three-page test, you will upload each student’s handwritten test as three separate image files. Together these files make one “image set.”
