Researchware, Inc.

Simply Powerful Tools for Qualitative Research

Does your software comply with Section 508?

Section 508 (see http://www.section508.gov/) is a 1998 amendment to the Rehabilitation Act requiring Federal Agencies to ensure their information technology and services are handicapped enabled. Researchware's products (HyperRESEARCH and HyperTRANSCRIBE) support Operating Systems-based accessibility enablers such as the Magnifier, Narrator, and other standard accessibility utilities found in MS-Windows. Similar Operating System tools work with versions of our products on other platforms. While Researchware can not test is products with all the myriad of 3rd party accessibility software and hardware on the market, we expect that our applications would work with most 3rd party solutions. Our product User Guides are provided by default as machine readable text based help files, that can be read by any tool that can read other content in our applications. The User Guides are also provided by default as a PDF version with selectable text that can be read by any tool capable of reading PDF files. Our web site provides all primary content as text and we provide technical support by phone and email. We believe that these measures qualify our products as complying with section 508 requirements for government agencies seeking to purchase our tools.

Do You Know...

... that in HyperRESEARCH you can use keyboard shortcuts to code audio and video? Just play your source file while listening and/or watching. When you come to the starting point of a segment you want to code, press Control-[ (if you use Windows) or Command-[ (if you use Mac OS X). Continue playing the segment, and when you reach the end of the part you want to code, press Control-] or Command-]. Your chosen segment is now selected, ready to have a code applied!

(This tip can be particularly helpful when you have a long source file and it's difficult to place the play head precisely enough at the spot you want to code. Using the keyboard shortcuts lets you code interactively, without fiddling with the controls on the screen.)
