HyperRESEARCH 3.0 Released!

Researchware has launched version 3.0 of our flagship product, HyperRESEARCH. This version provides many new features - too numerous to list them all - but we offer a few highlights below.

• Code Groups - 3.0 now supports hierarchical code groups with virtually no limit on number of hierarchical levels or the number of codes per group.
• Merge Multiple Studies - A full system for merging one or more studies together with rich options for handling case and code names provides enhanced work group support.
• HyperTRANSCRIBE Sources  - Opening HyperTRANSCRIBE transcription files in HyperRESEARCH provides display and synchronization of the transcription to the original media (audio or video).
• Related Multimedia for Sources - For any textual source material, a related multimedia file (audio or video) can be shown in the source window.
• Rich Text Format (RTF) Sources - Support for Rich Text Format (RTF) files for sources allows display of formatted source materials.
• HTML Sources - Support for Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files for sources allows coding of formatted source materials from a variety of sources. Save web pages locally and open them in HyperRESEARCH 3.0. (Only a subset of HTML tags are supported)
• Unicode Sources Support - Whether for RTF, HTML or Text Source, version 3.0 supports files using Unicode to display text in many languages.
• Drag-and-Drop Coding - Dragging individual codes or entire code groups onto selected source material provides an easier, more visual way to code sources.
• Robust Searching of Sources - Full text searching of individual source files or collections of sources.
• Source List Management - Provides a single view of all sources in your study and what codes and cases the source is associated with.
• USB installation - "Install once, run anywhere." HyperRESEARCH remains small, compact, and efficient to be able to be installed on a small USB drive and, of course, as always, to run on Windows or MacOS. Ideal for researchers in the field.

Student Discounts Are Easier Than Ever

Students are busy people! We know: we've all been busy students ourselves!

With the release of HyperRESEARCH 3.0, we've retained the same low student pricing we've always had. (Actually the student price of HyperRESEARCH went down a dollar!) We've also simplified the purchasing process. As a student, you no longer need to email us proof of your student status to obtain a coupon code to receive student pricing. All you need to do is complete one quick, simple, on-line form attesting to your student status and agreeing to our student discount terms and purchase. No waiting, no fuss.

When you purchase HyperRESEARCH (or any of our products or bundles) as a student, you get the full version. No time-based license expiration. No limitations on upgrades. Plus, you get HyperRESEARCH's unmatched ease of use, versatility. simplicity, and power, enabling you to complete your research and your degree faster and more easily than with other qualitative research software.

If you're a student who recently requested a Student Discount Coupon from us but haven't received one OR recently received your Coupon, but haven't purchased, you no longer need the Coupon (it will no longer work). To learn more about student pricing, please see http://www.researchware.com/sales/pricing-ordering/student-pricing-and-ordering.html. If you are already set to purchase, you can go straight to our Student Verification page at http://www.researchware.com/verify-student-status.html and choose the product you wish to buy (HyperRESEARCH, HyperRESEARCH Upgrade, HyperTRANSCRIBE, or HyperBUNDLE for both programs at one low price). Quick and easy. Then back to studying!
