What is queXF?
queXF (pronounced: kweks-eff) takes scanned paper forms generated using queXML and reads them. Operators can then verify that queXF has read the form correctly. Once this is done, the data collected can be exported in a fixed width ASCII file with a DDI data description.
queXF can be used as a web based, Open Source alternative to programs such as Cardiff Teleform and Remark OMR, in some situations. It can be used as a CADE (Computer Assisted Data Entry) tool
queXF has the following features:
- Unlimited number of operators for verification
- Accurately guesses if check boxes have been marked
- All operations done through a web browser, so distributed processing possible
- Allows forms to be reviewed over the web to confirm data is accurate
- Automatically detects locations of boxes on the form (no need to manually overlay boxes)
- Experimental: Integrates with Tesseract OCR to read text and numbers from the form
