What does a data entry keyer do?

A data entry keyer transfers information into a database using a computer and keyboard. Your duties often focus on entering information from documents or physical materials into a digital database. You may also enter information into a standard spreadsheet. The responsibilities of data entry keyers often involve compiling and organizing report materials, which you then print on paper or upload to a drive. An employer may task you with selecting the appropriate database or file for each piece of information that you process. You use your computer or digital device to check your entries or the work of other keyers for errors.
