When giving the general public the opportunity to enter their personal details on an interactive kiosk, you have to be prepared to filter incorrect information and where possible correct it.
I noticed when the general public entered their email addresses they often got the name of well known email providers incorrect. For example, joebloggs@hotmailll.com and joebloggs@aaaaool.com.
To deal with this issue, I wrote a PHP script with MySQL data access to interrogate email addresses. The script identified typical email address entry errors and automatically corrected them. Once the script had finished, it reported on all originally entered email addresses, the new corrected email addresses and a red or green status indicator.
