Scantron offers automated forms processing software that replaces the manual data entry of forms and documents. Information capture systems are used to automate many departments and functions, including human resources and training, operations, marketing and sales, accounting, and customer service.

The Cognition Data Collection Solution accelerates your business processes with the automation of forms and document capture. Cognition captures physical data from forms, documents, email, images and faxes, and converts the data into electronic information.
