What is our system about?
|
The TAU Systems
survey analysis suite is a fully integrated menu-based system that runs
under any Windows system (or MSDOS), designed to automate all functions
of a market research company or any organization that performs surveys, and
reduces total staff needs to two or three.
The system is free to educational bodies. The U.S. version comes with both English
and Spanish language modules. Other user-modifiable European language modules are available.
The system can generate and print several kinds of Optical Mark Readable (OMR)
questionnaires, in many formats, on any Word/RTF-compatible printer (for photocopying
or offset printing) of single or double-sided pages to eliminate data entry costs and errors.
OMR coding sheets can also be generated and read.
* The use of OMR is only an option to the normal questionnaire generation.
TAU-SAP generates survey reporting source programs in TAU-SAP, IBM-SAP, and Quantum,
for any formats from the questionnaire itself, and can convert any data formats
(binary, IBMª, Quantumª, Excelª, various ASCII, and so on) to any other data format.
Existing survey questionnaire formats can also be converted.
It features validate/modify data entry modes and powerful editing, checking,
re-coding and frequency analysis modules (for both binary and ascii data files),
has 15-dimension factor analysis, and conceptual mapping and standard statistical packages.
It has a unique ability to process and code text replies automatically, and also offers
CATI and CAPI services, and HTML web-based forms, all in any left-to right alphabet languages.
Reports can be output in most standard Windows RTF and other formats.
Greek questionnaires have also been used. See "Frequently asked questions".

Updated 2009 version uploaded.
By allowing selection of Ascii or RTF coding for output reports,
the need for printer drivers is eliminated.
Then the use of a text or RTF-compatible editor (e.g. Microsoft Word or similar)
makes simple, further decoration, font changes and printer selection.
This in turn allows all left-to-right alphabets for questionnaire and reports.
OMR reading is still limited to MSDOS, and Windows 3.1, 95, 98 systems,
unless Porttalkª or similar software is used to clear
Microsoft NT/XP/Vista/V7 port map restrictions;
(affects only one optional module).
Automatic data mapping modules now extract short-form question names or numbers
from the questionnaire for user reference and use.
