Over 50% of our CATI projects conducted were multi-country projects covering China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore. Our CATI supervisors speak Mandarin, Hong Kong Cantonese, Korean, Japanese and Shanghai dialect. Native speakers are hired for overseas interviews. For stable quality, 4-6 permanent full time interviewers are maintained in our Beijing and Shanghai offices respectively starting Apr 2003. If needed, we can program the CATI questionnaire in Hong Kong Cantonese characters which are different from Guangzhou Cantonese.
We use more than one CATI software packages to allow maximum flexibility in terms of timing, deliverables, quota and questionnaire routing and answer rotation complexity. Common used CATI software packages are QPS, Nipo, WinCati. QPS is a professional CATI package with data export options to SPSS, Quantum, Triple S, ASCII, Excel and CSV formats. Nipo is widely used in Hong Kong, China and Europe, while WinCati is widely used in the US.
All interviews are digitally recorded for quality control. Clients can dial in any of our workstation to listen to the interviewing process from his/her office.
