For "Examining Women's Coaching Desires: Perspectives from Assistant Women's Basketball Division I Coaches", a poster session paper by Glenna Bower of the University of Southern Indiana and presented at the 2011 North American Society for Sport Management Conference (NASSM 2011), Bower utilized HyperRESEARCH for coding "the data looking for themes that emerged through intensive analysis and categorization of the data."

In "Methodological Issues in the Use of Published Cartoons as Data", researchers Ellen Giarelli of the School of Nursing's Center for Autism Epidemiology and Research and Lorraine Tulman, both of the University of Pennsylvania, explore the methodolocial approaches to analyzing images, especially cartoon images, as reflection of public opinion on issues of publich health. They cite HyperRESEARCH for its ability to catalog and code entire images or portions of images as a qualitative tool for image based source material.

The Center for Advancing Research & Communication (ARC), a joint effort of the National Science Fountation and University of Chicago, sponsors many important initiatives that support education researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). One such effort, on "Context, Culture & STEM Education", lead by principle investogator Sharon Nelson-Barber, explores the "ways in which American Indian students and their teachers in selected communities make use of local wisdom and heritage ethnomathematics and ethnoscience practices in STEM education."

We get a lot of potential customers looking for software that will automatically transcribe their audio or video files for them. HyperTRANSCRIBE software makes transcription a lot easier, however, it cannot transcribe automatically -- just as HyperRESEARCH can aid in coding & analyzing qualitative data, but it can't do your research for you.

We would love to be able to provide software that automatically transcribes speech. Unfortunately the technology to support speech recognition simply hasn't gotten to the point where automatic transcription of audio or video recordings can match, let alone surpass, the accuracy of (good) human transcriptions.
