Hello Tom,
I have just completed mine online. The online completion was
easy. However, you are wrong about scanning the access code.
I used both the Finereader and RTK engines in Kurzweil 6 and
also TextBridge 11 and none of them could scan it accurately
enough to make it any use.
I had to take it to my neighbour's and get them to read it
to me--not what you should have to do!
My neighbour told me that the text in the code was fainter
than the rest of the text on the form, so this is probably
the problem. You have the same problem when you try to fill
Leeds Council electoral register forms in online. The access
code is unscannable!
This is a major downfall of these systems, which needs
addressing. Typically, though, if you try to find a
"contact" number or address on the census website, there is
none there. They are not, you would therefore deduce,
interested in any problems people may be having.
John.

Hi Guys,
I've just completed my Census Form online and found it
pretty
straightforward.
The only drawback was that you had to enter an Internet
Questionnaire Access
Code, which is printed on the front of the paper form. I got
my wife to read
it out to me but I would imagine it will scan easily enough.
Things to watch out for.
When checking Radio boxes and Check boxes, make sure you're
checking the
correct option as sometimes the question comes before the
check box and
sometimes after. Most of the Radio boxes have text added to
them stating
what they are.
Also, make use of the mouse pad as there is some help there
which doesn't
show up when using the Tab and Arrow Down keys.
It took me about half an hour to complete the form for 2
people but will
take longer if you have kids.
Also, please note that you will be logged out of the form
after 10 minutes
of inactivity.
Cheers Tom.
