Collecting Survey Responses in Paper and Web Forms

Help Center Web surveysLast updated: 15 January, 2025

Are you looking for a practical way to gather data using both paper and online surveys? PaperSurvey.io makes it simple to handle responses from paper forms and web surveys in one consolidated platform. This streamlined approach helps you save time, reduce errors, and keep all your data securely in one place for straightforward analysis.

Why Combine Paper and Web Surveys?

  1. Unified Database

Storing results from both paper and digital surveys together gives you a clear overview of your entire dataset. This makes it easy to spot trends and gain insights without juggling multiple tools.

  1. Simplicity and Convenience

By having both paper-based and online options, you can reach respondents who may not have consistent internet access—or prefer filling out physical forms—while also offering a quick digital alternative.

  1. Multilingual Support Included

With PaperSurvey.io, you can create surveys in any language you need and distribute paper and web surveys to different population samples. Once responses roll in, simply export them onto a single sheet, making it easier to analyze data from different language groups side by side.

What Are the Limitations?

While PaperSurvey.io is built to closely match the look and feel of paper surveys—ensuring a smooth transition between offline and online methods—it doesn't currently offer extensive skip-logic functionalities. If your study requires sophisticated branching or highly customized workflows, you may need a more specialized platform or rely on text instructions (e.g. if answered YES to question 5, skip to section B).
