Hi all, Following up a little on the previous discussion -For my thesis, I used atlas.ti to code and analyse my interview transcripts. Last year, though, I bought a new Mac iBook which, while great for everything else, seems a bit disadvantaged when it comes to qualitative analysis software. I'm trying to find a decent and affordable program to use for some smaller projects since our institution only provides PC software, and I wondered if the list could help. So far, I've been to the CAQDAS site at Surrey and looked at their most recent review. They suggest Transana (free and open source) and HyperResearch (emphatically NOT free). Transana is a big bear of a program, meant specially to handle audio and video files, but I've yet to get it to work on my system, despite learning more about video encoding than I ever really wanted to know. HyperResearch is outside my budget. I've seen another program called TAMS but it looks like its text-only analysis. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Best regards, Elizabeth PS I've also tried atlas.ti running on virtual PC on my Mac previously, while still doing my research work, but it was so slow I broke down and cried and then went to a public PC at the university and did my coding there.
