Our mobile app was created to increase transparency and efficiency during data collection by replacing paper forms. The app supports a wide range of question & answer functions and is designed to work well without network connectivity. Interviewers and enumerators will be able to collect data by using our app during interviews or surveys with respondents. Users can work through prompts and save submissions at any point. Finalized records can be sent to our server, rtServer.
The rtSurvey app supports location, audio, images, video, barcodes, signatures, multiple-choice, free text, and numeric answers. Additional features include: real-time chat, quality assurance checking, real-time report viewing, survey maps, note-taking, and etc.
The app is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
The Business User (survey administrator) will have access to rtSurvey Server (“rtServer”). The server will allow you to perform all your needed operations, including the first step of uploading forms.
There are generally two types of form files:
- The “Form Def” file is an Excel file that contains the main questionnaire (XLS, XLSX, XML format), which should be coded in XLSForm format.
- Media files are image/audio/video files, that are additional content files for the man questionnaire (JPG, PNG, MP3, MP4 format)
In the sidebar menu, select “Setting Up” and you will be able to upload your forms directly. There are options to create Form Families if forms belong to the same group. Once you declare your forms, the last step is to click Upload. For more information, see our Documents page.
No, our system will take care of that for you! We provide our users with XLSForm templates to develop simple and complex forms—grid layouts, search functions over multiple databases, and etc. Using our Excel-based form templates, you can upload forms to rtServer and let our system handle the conversion to XML format.
rtSurvey was built with CAPI efficiency in mind. Our software includes many tools needed to conduct offline long-form surveys, such as:
- Built-in camera
- Built-in voice recorder
- QR scanner to scan/decode QR codes or create QR codes in a form
- Messaging feature to chat with team members in real-time
- R server to run analytics completely offline
For further information, check out our Features page and our Technical Docs.

We have two types of accounts: the Business Account and the Member Account.
The Business Account is the domain administrator; that is, the person who has a direct account with rtSurvey and is in charge of the domain (example: domain.rtsurvey.com). This user has access to ALL rtSurvey features in the plan, including creating and monitoring Member Accounts, establishing hierarchies, granting access to certain features, creating/uploading surveys, etc.
The Member Account is an account created by the Business Account (the domain administrator). The Member Account is tied to the Business Account’s domain and has limited access to certain features, depending on the level of access granted by the Business Account.

rtSurvey works seamlessly on both iOS and Android devices.
Install from Google Play Store for Android devices:
Install from Apple App Store for iOS devices:
Your situation may look like this:
You have a survey that has 5 different questionnaires. You have to separate the whole team into 3 different sub-teams. Each of the sub-teams will be responsible for a different set of questionnaires.
Unlike other CAPI, rtSurvey allows you to create as many teams (we call it User Role) as you want. For each team you have created, you can assign any forms to the team as you want. rtSurvey allows you to have all the data in one single space while keeping the ability to create independent partitions for different teams.
rtSurvey App’s size is bigger than other CAPI apps because it includes many tools needed for survey works, while other CAPI apps do not, such as:
- Camera app so you can picture and videos without installing a separate camera app
- Voice recorder app so you can record audios
- QR scanner app so you can scan to decode QR codes and even create QR codes in a form
- Messasing app so you can chat in real-time
- It even includes R server so you can run analytics completely off-line
