Using paper to collect <str<strong>on</strong>g>data</str<strong>on</strong>g> is difficult and inefficient. ODK is a free and open-source set of<br />
tools which use <str<strong>on</strong>g>smart</str<strong>on</strong>g>ph<strong>on</strong>es and cloud servers to digitize <str<strong>on</strong>g>data</str<strong>on</strong>g> collecti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
ODK provides an out-of-the-box soluti<strong>on</strong> for users to:<br />
1. Build a <str<strong>on</strong>g>data</str<strong>on</strong>g> collecti<strong>on</strong> form or survey;<br />
2. Collect the <str<strong>on</strong>g>data</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> a <strong>mobile</strong> device and send it to a server; and<br />
3. Aggregate the collected <str<strong>on</strong>g>data</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> a server and extract it in useful formats.<br />
Are there are any questi<strong>on</strong>s I could answer?
