Designing an effective paper survey requires careful thought about question structure, layout optimization, and OCR compatibility. If you need expert assistance, our team offers professional survey design services for organizations of all sizes.
Build a survey automatically from your document
If you already have a questionnaire written up, PaperSurvey can convert it into a survey for you. Create a new survey with the Plain design, which starts with no questions, and on the empty question list choose Set up from text, Word or PDF….
Upload a TXT, DOCX, or PDF file (up to 10MB), or choose or paste text and paste your questions, select the language, and click Import. Questions, answer options, and basic settings are extracted automatically. Add another language adds a second source, in another language, to fill in the translations of a multi-language survey.
Review the imported survey afterwards, as typically some manual adjustments are needed. Imports are limited to 15 per day (3 per day during the trial).
