When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

speed entry
I think they are talking about "speed entry" mode (hence the use of "au kilométre", denoting great speed)
Inter Lignes répond efficacement à vos besoins de saisie kilométrique aussi bien en terme de qualité, de délais et de sécurisation des données.
L’externalisation avec une saisie kilométrique vous offre un gain de temps donc une réduction des coûts, et surtout une prestation de haute qualité.
Qu’est-ce que la saisie kilométrique de documents?
La saisie kilométrique consiste dans un premier temps à saisir tout document sans tenir compte de la présentation finale. En effet, lorsque nous tapons un texte, il n’est pas nécessaire de taper sur enter (touche validation) pour passer à la ligne suivante. Si vous atteignez la marge de droite et que la ligne ne peut pas contenir ce que vous avez tapé, votre logiciel de bureautique le fait aller mécaniquement à la ligne suivante par exemple.

standard form or document with repetitive variable data would be a candidate .... developed for desk use for such things as high-speed entry of articles, ...

Found something:
6.4.9 Saisie du texte :
Assez fréquemment le client vous remettra des textes qu'il aura rédigés: notes techniques, articles, éditos, etc... Le texte sera d’abord saisi "au kilomètre", c'est à dire sans aucun travail de présentation ou de mise en valeur. Cette saisie est réalisée soit par le créateur du site soit par un rédacteur à partir des éléments transmis en les retapant ou en utilisant le couper/coller du texte existant et en supprimant tous les attributs typographiques. Ensuite, le texte brut va être traité pour lui donner sa forme finale. C'est ce que l'on appelle "l'enrichissement typographique" qui joue sur les polices, les corps, les graisses... Pour rester cohérent, il faut d’abord définir le statut de chaque partie du texte (titres, sous-titres, paragraphes, liste d’éléments etc.

The text will be captured without formatting, which will be added afterwards.

La caractéristique première de l'utilisation d'un traitement de texte est la frappe au kilomètre. C'est-à-dire que vous ne devez pas aller de vous-même à la ligne en cours de paragraphe.

Do not confuse with "plaintext", a now-deprecated synonym of cleartext (as opposed to ciphertext).
In E>F translations, Linguee (for example) will show you lots of mistaken translations of "plain text" as 'texte en clair".
Which may explain the resort to 'au kilométre' as a metaphor for no formatting.
