Why would anyone want to move from a paper survey to a smart phone survey? • Fewer trees killed • Less to carry around • More precise—don’t have to decipher handwriting • Ability to use questionnaire in multiple languages • Data entry instant—huge time saver; no entry errors. • No need for internet or network connectivity while in the field—can conduct surveys in remote areas. • One phone can hold thousands of surveys (with limited photo and video) • Surveys can be uploaded from any location, which means enumerators can be spread out across a large geographic area and all their surveys could be uploaded to one server and combined into one worksheet for analysis back at headquarters. • Ability to create maps • Ability to use photos and videos as a part of a survey.
