HYPERTRANSCRIBE FOR MAC INSTALL
However, I’ll either have to run it on my clunky old work PC (preventing me from doing any data analysis from home), or I’ll need to buy and install a copy of windows on my Macbook. Support is readily available via the Qualitative Inquiry Group community, other people in the office already use it on their ALTC project, and it does all the things I’m looking for. I can’t find a date anywhere on the page, though, and the inclusion of NVivo 2 suggests that it might be a bit dated.
HYPERTRANSCRIBE FOR MAC SOFTWARE
Most available software is designed by researchers, and not by interface designers – so virtually all the available options will feel a lot like you’re using an old version of Windows. Thomas Koenig has an excellent CAQDAS Comparison, ordered by software function. Unfortunately, they don’t currently have reviews for very many packages – just NVivo 8, ATLAS.ti 6, Digital Replay Systems (DRS) and MAXqda 2007. The CAQDAS network provides information about a range of software designed to assist with qualitative data analysis. Relatively basic features, and the web-based approach has some drawbacks (reliance on web access and server uptime) as well as positives (access via any platform using a web browser). Coding Analysis Toolkit (CAT) is a web-based toolkit, designed to allow analysis of text data that’s either been pre-coded using ATLAS.ti, or using the built-in coding module.In particular, displaying all tags in the text can make documents unreadable when multiple overlapping tags are used. Some users on Academics Anon (semi-public LJ group – many entries won’t be visible unless you join the LJ community) have expressed frustration at the interface. The review on MacResearchSW describes it as a powerful and full-featured analysis tool, but comments that it has a non-intuitive interface with a steep learning curve. TAMS Analyser is a Text Analysis Markup System (not to be confused with the Technology Acceptance Model, which I’ve been reading about recently…).It seems to be the main contender for an NVivo-like tool, It’s about $200USD to purchase, so I’ll only buy it if I know that it’s going to work for me. I’m going to download a trial version next week. hyperRESEARCH is the main piece of analysis software that will run on a Mac.Software I can buy outright, in order to access my data in future.Ability to handle audio, video and image data.Search functions (boolean searches, proximity searches, negative cases, comparing to demographic data, etc).Visualisation of tagged data (coding stripes, etc).Flexibility in tagging text (interview transcripts and field notes) according to themes that will emerge during analysis.Runs natively on OS X, without requiring dual-booting into Windows, or virtual machine software.


HYPERTRANSCRIBE FOR MAC MAC OS
I’ve been looking for qualitative data analysis software that runs on Mac OS X, and have found a disappointing short list of applications.

This has turned out to be a much shorter search than expected. EDIT: Since writing this post, I’ve opted for a browser-based tool called Dedoose.
