Check also QDA Miner Lite. It’s a free computer assisted qualitative data analysis software. This new freeware provides an easy-to-use tool for coding, annotating and analyzing collections of documents and images such as interview or focus-group transcripts, journal articles, web pages, or customer feedback.
QDA Miner Lite has been designed to meet the basic needs of researchers and analysts performing qualitative data analysis. This CAQDAS tool is ideal for those on tiny budgets (or no budget) or those who wish to teach qualitative research in classes.

Though I have never tried QDA Miner Lite I bet it will be a great qualitative research software. Can you highlight its features for me? Why do you think it’ll be better than ATLAS.ti ?

QDA Miner Lite features are:
-Importation from a wide range of documents (Word, PDF, HTML, RTF) and image file formats (JPG, PNG, BMP, WMF).
-Importation from spreadsheets, databases and other qualitative data analysis software.
-Intuitive on-screen coding and annotation of texts and images.
-Ability to add comments (or memos) to coded segments, cases or the whole project.
-Fast Boolean text search tool for retrieving and autocoding of text segments.
-Code frequency analysis with bar chart, pie chart and tag clouds.
Coding retrieval with Boolean (and, or, not) and proximity operators (includes, enclosed, near, before, after).
-Exportation of tables to XLS, Tab Delimited, CSV formats, and Word format.
-Exportation of graphs to BMP, PNG, JPEG, WMF formats.
Single-file (*.qdp) project format.
-Interface and help file in English, French and Spanish.
QDA Miner Lite offers all the basic features to perform a rigorous qualitative analysis for FREE, while you have to pay with Atlas Ti. QDA Miner Lite is also easier to use and faster than Atlas, even if you have thousands of documents to analyze.
We can also compare the full version of QDA Miner with Atlas ti:
-QDA Miner offers more computer assistance for coding. It has not just one but seven text search and retrieval tools (Keyword Retrieval tool, Section Retrieval tool, Query by Example tool, Cluster Extraction tool, Code Similarity search, etc.). For example, the unique cluster extraction and coding tool will group into clusters all similar sentences and will codify them at the same time. Those sentences could be answers from an open ended survey.
-QDA Miner integrates advanced statistical and visualization tools such as clustering, multidimensional scaling, heatmaps, correspondence analysis and sequence analysis.
-QDA Miner offers more assistance for reporting. For example, the Report manager tool allows one to easily store in a single-location queries and analysis results; tables and graphs; as well as research notes and quotes. It also helps to organize information, structure findings, and draft interpretations, or to assemble any other relevant pieces of information that you may wish to include in your final report.
-Large qualitative research projects often require the effort of multiple coders. QDA Miner offers assistance in such situation with flexible multi-user settings, a powerful merge feature for bringing together coding, annotations, reports, and log entries of multiple coders as well as an inter-raters agreement module for assessing coding reliability.
-A single QDA Miner project can hold tens of thousands of documents, or hundreds of thousands of short text responses. Even with such large projects, the software will use a limited amount of computer resources (memory & CPU time) and will respond quickly.

What I meant was the Cluster Extraction tool will help you codify open ended responses of a survey

This looks great. Can it also handle video?
And if and when we need to export the data, is this possible and easy? thanks.
