Om TAGUETTE

A spin on the phrase "tag it!", Taguette is a free and open-source qualitative research tool (which works on all operating systems!) that allows users to:

• Import PDFs, Word Docs (.docx), Text files (.txt), HTML, EPUB, MOBI, Open Documents (.odt), and Rich Text Files (.rtf).
• Highlight words, sentences, or paragraphs and tag them with the codes you create.
• Work collaboratively with other users (if self-hosting or using app.taguette.org).
• Your data stays your own; export everything including your project, highlights, documents, and codes.

...and much more! You can view our development queue on GitLab here: https://gitlab.com/remram44/taguette/-/issues. You can always add feature requests, bug reports, or general feedback via GitLab issues. If you are not sure how to do that, feel free to email us your feedback at [email protected].

Varför skapade vi Taguette?

Qualitative methods generate rich, detailed research materials that leave individuals’ perspectives intact as well as provide multiple contexts for understanding the phenomenon under study. Qualitative methods are used in a wide range of fields, such as anthropology, education, nursing, psychology, sociology, and marketing. Qualitative data has a similarly wide range: observations, interviews, documents, audiovisual materials, and more.

However - the software options for qualitative researchers are either far too expensive, don't allow for the seminal method of highlighting and tagging materials, or actually perform quantitative analysis, just on text.

It's not right or fair that qualitative researchers without massive research funds cannot afford the basic software to do their research.

So, to bolster a fair and equitable entry into qualitative methods, we've made Taguette!

Teamet

Taguette utvecklades av Rémi Rampin. Vicky Rampin och Sarah DeMott tillhandahöll funktionella krav, användarbehov och testning för att påverka utvecklingsprocessen.
