More than you might imagine.

Too much turnaround time. That equipment is fine, but it requires that something gets printed and disseminated to the field.

All of your suggestions are nice, but impractical when there is no internet or cell service available.

How many heads-down, high-speed data entry jobs are there still out there?

Find other ways of getting the data entered. Barcode/QR scanners. OCR.

I always thought the idea of web GUI is to get the customer to do the data entry for you. Make it simple, with drop downs for fields that require specific values, and reasonableness tests for other fields to reduce errors. But primarily get Amazon's 10M customers to do the data entry instead of sending in a piece of paper that someone has to manually enter into the computer.

Nothing beats the green screen for high speed data entry. Prove me wrong.

I can't. First, I'm biased. I like green screens and command lines in general. Second, I have by far not enough real world experience in the area of heads down, high speed data entry.

:wq! PoC
