HyperRESEARCH is a qualitative analysis research tool.

Here are some key features of "HyperRESEARCH":
Easy-to-use Interface: HyperRESEARCH offers the same intuitive case-based interface on all supported platform. Our customers tell us that HyperRESEARCH is so easy to learn and use that it lets them focus more on their research, and minimizes the need for costly workshops and further software instruction. It provides a turnkey solution by employing a built-in help system and several tutorials with step-by-step instructions. The functional simplicity and reliability of the software combined with its powerful advanced features make HyperRESEARCH an excellent tool for qualitative researchers at any level.
Fully Cross-Platform: The latest version of HyperRESEARCH is designed from the ground up to work well on Microsoft Windows® and Apple's OS X®. We deliver a consistent experience on both platforms while adhering to the conventions users expect on each. The HyperRESEARCH study file format and all of the various media types supported will work equally well regardless of which operating system you use.
Multi-Media Capabilities: HyperRESEARCH allows you to work with text, graphics, audio, and video source material
Comprehensive Code-and-Retrieve Functions: HyperRESEARCH allows you to select any chunk of text (from 1 character to an entire file) and apply any number of code names to the chunk. Recall your codes by name, or select them based on proximity to other codes. View codes in context, in the margin of your Source Text window; or create an exportable report that organizes the specific data you ask for by case or by code name. Reports can be hyperlinked back to the original source material.
Code Annotation and Descriptions (Memoing): Select a code reference on a case card, click the Annotate button, and add up to 64, characters of information per reference. Use the Code List Editor to enter a code definition for any of your master codes. Great for quick reference when decided exactly which code to apply to a source chunk — especially when several researchers are working on the same study.
Flexible Autocoding: Autocode multiple sources to multiple cases, looking for multiple phrases in a single pass. Specify a number of characters, words, or lines before and/or after the found phrases to be included in the chunk selected for autocoding.
Code Mapping: Use the Code Map Window to graphically represent relationships between your master codes.
Hypothesis Testing: Unique to HyperRESEARCH it its Hypothesis tester, which applies rule-based "expert systems" techniques to perform in-depth analyses of your coded data to see whether the coding supports your hypothesis.
Shared Workflow: In addition to supporting the researcher working alone, HyperRESEARCH offers features that make it easy to share work with your team. You can export and import your master code list so research assistants can help code specific cases, and you can copy those cases to paste into your master study with no additional software needed. And because all of HyperRESEARCH's files are fully cross-platform, it doesn't matter which operating system your teammates use.
Customizable Welcome Screen: In HyperRESEARCH 2.6 we've added a customizable Welcome screen which lets instructors give immediate access to specified study files in a lab environment. In conjunction with the Free Teach Edition, this provides a solution for instructors teaching the basics of using qualitative sotware at no cost to the university.

Limitations:
This free version has all of its features available, with the following limitations:
The Master Code List is limited to 75 codes.
A Study is limited to 7 cases.
Each case can have no more than 50 code instances.
These limits make this free version suitable for teaching the basics of qualitative research without requiring students to purchase the full package.
