OCR - Optical Character Recognition scanning add-on
It would be fantastic for Survey Gizmo to offer an OCR module or add-on that will read scanned-in paper surveys. My evaluation consulting firm would pay a premium for this type of service as it is often cost-prohibitive to manually enter paper surveys for our clients who request or require paper surveys. Not to mention the likelihood of human error when manually entering survey data. SNAP Surveys offers an OCR module, but we don't like most of their other features.

Oh yes, this would be wonderful! To throw in my two cents: My lab wouldn't even require text-recognition OCR. Just having it automatically determine which bubbles a participant filled in and translating those to numeric responses would be super. I understand that this is kind of separate from your core service of providing online surveys, but it would be valuable to a lot of the same users.
