Qualitative analysis with
HyperRESEARCH

Powerful tools.

HyperRESEARCH gives you annotations, word clouds, survey-data-to-study import, and much more.

No complications.

At Researchware, we believe studying our qualitative world should be straightforward, and we design our software accordingly. HyperRESEARCH supports your needs, instead of trying to squeeze you into someone else's pet methodology.

For Mac. For Windows. Always and forever.

You and your colleagues live in a cross-platform world, and so should your research tools. HyperRESEARCH delivers with full feature equality, along with easy integration and file transfer between Mac and Windows. Both the Macintosh and Windows version of our software are developed from the same code base, so there is always feature parity between the different versions.

Record information about each passage you code, and any code in your code book.

Create memos for any section of source material (text, audio, video, or pictures):

• Keep track of your process as you code and analyze, and record your thoughts about the work in progress.
• Put additional information and resources right next to your coding.
• Exchange ideas and directions with colleagues working on the same study.
• Automatically merge annotations from different versions of a study, or from different sets of codings.

Include your notes in reports, and save them as separate documents:

• Use your notes and journal entries as source documents and code them for easy retrieval.
• Pull out just your notes, or also include information about the source, code, and case they're linked to.
• Import your information into Word or Excel (or any other program that can read text documents).

Use the Word Counter to create word clouds and frequency lists of the words in your source material.

• Visualize the complete vocabulary of your source data in a word cloud, or analyze it in a frequency table.
• Fine-tune your verbal analysis by excluding irrelevant words.
• Look at your whole source compendium at once, or select and compare groups of sources.

Continue the analysis by working with the words you're interested in:

• Quickly exclude words that aren't of interest. The Word Count recomputes automatically to show you the new cloud.
• Click a word to see every occurrence in context.
• Automatically code a word everywhere it appears, throughout your study..

Got survey data that has both qualitative and quantitative parts? How would you like to turn your spreadsheet into a complete study in one click? The Mixed Methods Importer makes it simple.

The Importer does all this for you automatically:

• Reads your Excel spreadsheet or delimited file. (Have a file in a nonstandard format? No problem - flexible settings let you work with it.)
• Creates a case for each row, with a source file for each case.
• Marks the variable data (such as demographic information, age group, class, and so on) and pre-codes it for you.

Your finished study is ready for you to code the qualitative (open-ended) responses:

• Variable data is automatically linked between the case, the text that specifies the data, and the code group that holds the categories.
• You can use HyperRESEARCH's advanced filtering capabilities to look at demographic subsets of your data: by age, by sex, or any other data that was included in your original spreadsheet.
• Your encounter with your qualitative data needs the human touch. HyperRESEARCH automates the rest.

Fully cross-platform by design, HyperRESEARCH is with you whether you use a Mac, a PC... or both! All our features are available on both platforms - from Day One with no delays.

• Full feature equality means you'll never be frustrated by being on the "wrong" system — all our features are available immediately for both platforms, and they work the same way, whether you prefer Mac or Windows.
• Move your work seamlessly between Mac and Windows.
• Easily transfer and merge study files, no matter which system they were created on. Your platform-diverse research group can exchange work in progress - no converters to mess with and no feature limitations to frustrate you.
• Buy HyperRESEARCH once and install it on your Mac, Windows system, or both — there's nothing extra to buy.
