Transana offers the most sophisticated tools available for the qualitative analysis of text, still image, audio, and video data. Work with the data users want the way users want, using their qualitative methodology of choice. Transana provides two ways of indicating the analytic significance of users’ data segments, categorization and coding.

Users can leverage these complimentary analytic systems in powerful ways as users work to make sense of their qualitative data. Transana’s graphical and text-based reports are highly flexible and customizable, allowing users to explore analytic relationships in their data and preserve their insights in a variety of different ways designed to meet different analytic needs.

Transana’s search tool allows users to explore connections in their coding even further. Transana has particularly powerful tools for analyzing video and audio data that allow users to work with complex media data and explore every bit of meaning in their media data.

Users can import text documents into Transana. Users can also import still images directly into Transana or create screen capture images from their video data. Users can analyze audio and video data in Transana. Users can easily and flexibly transcribe their media files in Transana.

Transana does NOT automatically produce transcripts using voice recognition. However, users report success in listening to their media data and dictating what they hear into their voice recognition software within Transana.

The Multiuser version of Transana pioneered the concept of collaborative data sharing in qualitative analysis tools back in 2002. The multiuser version allows multiple researchers to work on the same data at the same time, even from different locations. Users can see each other’s changes to the data set in real time. And the introduction of the Transana Cloud Service in 2014 makes using these features easier.

    Transana provides advanced analytical tools for the qualitative analysis of text, still image, audio, and video data. It allows you to work with the data you want using a qualitative methodology of your choice. Transana’s single-user version is designed for projects where all of the analysis is conducted on a single computer. It is self-contained meaning the Transana application, the media data, and the resulting analyses are all located on the same computer and only one person can work on it at any particular time.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    However, the multi-user version of Transana allows users on different computers to make changes to the same analytic data files at the same time. Transana Multiuser is appropriate for projects where several researchers are working collaboratively on the same data, at the same time, to keep everything synchronized. If one user adds new data or codes some data, that data or coding will appear automatically in all other researchers’ copies of Transana. Another feature is Transana’s graphical and text-based reports which are highly flexible and customizable, allowing you to explore analytic relationships in your data. You are also able to preserve your insights in a variety of different ways designed to meet different analytic needs. Transana’s search tool allows you to explore connections in your coding even further.
