Automatic Coding of Handprinted Responses in Statistical Surveys
نویسنده
چکیده
In mail surveys, it is frequently necessary to ask the respondents to describe themselves by their place of birth, profession, education,etc. in written form. The answers must subsequently be coded by the statistical agency. Modern optical scanning equipment can transcribe the answers to machine-readable form. Because of distorted characters and unusual spelling, automatic coding may not always be an easy solution. This paper outlines an automatic model for handling distorted characters and spelling errors. The model was tested on US city names by means of a prototype system and the results are discussed.
