SPSS interface available for NCS software
SPSS Inc. has teamed with National Computer Systems, Inc. (NCS) to develop an interface which allows data scanned by NCS products to be read directly into SPSSIPC+ V3.0 for analysis and presentation. NCS optical mark readers scan forms completed with pencil, pen, or bar codes and convert the marks into usable computer data. The interface will enable the user to collect data from NCS scannable forms without key entry and convert it directly into an SPSSIPC+ system file. SPSSIPC+ can then be used to clean and analyze the data and present the results in a variety of formats. For more information, contact SPSS at 312-329-2400.
