We are happy to announce the availability of a desktop application of Dedoose available for all Windows, Apple, and Linux computers!

Reminders about the terrific survey importer, quick code widget and a variety of guidance on examining inter-rater reliability in Dedoose. All great stuff for qualitative and mixed methods research and evaluation data analysis.

The new "Auto Link" feature allows you to take the title of your media and link it with any descriptor that matches in a field of your choosing, automatically!

Trying to log in to Dedoose but keep getting the note above even after you have updated your Adobe Flash Player? Then you just have to give Dedoose permission to use Flash! Follow the steps included in this post to get Dedoose up and running again in no time!

Here we discuss getting started from a shell in Dedoose, and how to approach creating, editing and using a code system. This includes creating descriptor fields and data, importing descriptor fields and data, submitting resources, linking resources and descriptors, building a tag tree and a whole lot more, brought to you by our very own Eli Lieber of UCLA.

Dedoose 7.5.9, an update to v 7.5, has been pushed live with some important fine tuning to improve performance. We apologize for any sluggishness or hiccups that may have occurred after the substantial update.

The cloud, or cloud computing can be a confusing thing. We are not talking about the weather, but a place that information is stored and can be interacted with. The term ‘the cloud’ can be loosely thought of as the Internet. Information in the cloud is stored on servers belonging to and maintained by others—not directly on your local computer. If you have used Gmail or Yahoo to access your email, watched videos on YouTube, used Netflix, or paid a bill online, then you have used a web application that is operating in the cloud.

Our user community was abuzz with the key new features in Dedoose 7. After a tremendous amount of work, our awesome Tech Team has now added image based PDF and image importing, excerpting, and coding capabilities. To bring you the best of both worlds, you now have the option to importing PDFs as native image-based media or make use of the OCR technology to import the file as a document-based media.

Information about new features included in our most recent update, including changes to the Code Tree, new "Re-Parent" and "Make Root" code options, retroactive upcode, and a few security updates. Hope you enjoy!

Some heavy lifting by our tech team over the past few months has delivered in this great new release. Most important is a full memo system update and retro-active up-coding is online!

Dedoose is happy to introduce the integration of PDF documents into our cloud-based platform! PDFs are a securable, compact and self-contained document that are fast becoming an industry standard, and are commonly seen and used in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Don't waste time converting your documents, upload and import your PDFs into a manageable and editable form, and get your data analysis moving!

So what has your favorite data analysis software provider been up to in regards to new updates lately? Well, we've implemented a couple of performance enhancements, most notably in our import and iconography engines, but we think one new feature will specifically make Dedoose stand out a little more in the research app field.. But you'll have to keep reading to hear what it is!

Enjoy saving time? We take a moment to highlight a not-so-secret feature that is can easily be overlooked, but is indispensable as a time-saver when processing data or transcribing video and audio - The Quick Code Widget! Read more to learn how you can save tons of time during your survey analysis, because who doesn't appreciate free time?

Data plays a crucial role in your research methodology - without your data, you have nothing! We understand the importance of not only keeping your data intact, but also in the amount of time you have invested into analyzing and preparing your project. We've updated our backup technology to ensure that your data is safe for years to come! During the overhaul we also snuck a couple other features into the most recent build - want to find out more? Read on!

Our most current release of Dedoose (Version 4.12) includes a brand new User Interface and several other user requested features, most notably is our beautiful revamp of the main menu bar. Check out more details in this post!

Data security has always been paramount at Dedoose. We are proud to introduce our new feature, Project Specific Encryption, which allows you to designate an encryption key only you know to specific projects. Read more about the details of our new security feature here!

Highlights from Dedoose in 2012

Desktop App! Desktop App! YES! We are touting our recently available Dedoose Desktop App.

On March 28th we released an updated version of Dedoose that included some huge new features and many enhancements to easy workflow—thanks to everyone who submitted requests and keep them coming as there is never a good idea that gets ignored at Dedoose central.

As promised, audio support in Dedoose would be coming close on the heels of video and we have delivered!

If you are already familiar with Dedoose functionality and features, there is surprisingly little to say except that you can essentially now do with video media everything you’ve been doing with textual media. 

We are thrilled about the recent release of Dedoose for the tablet.

After some serious head scratching, we've come up with and implemented what we feel is an elegant solution to exporting documents showing all excerpting activity and coding.

Our upgraded charting engine is powered by a fantastic algorithm that looks at the data used, breaks it up into categories based on the distribution of cases across the range of the variable, and then generates charts based on these groupings.

Hey all, we’ve been a bit quiet on the blog lately, but it’s been quite the opposite here at Dedoose Central. 

We've made some major structural changes to Dedoose on the backend that has once again boosted performance dramatically.  

Hey all, HUGE update to Dedoose yesterday!  So substantial, you’ll note we’re moving on to Dedoose 2.0.

We just updated Dedoose, and though it is a small update, it contains some significant developments.  

If it hasn't become clear already, the new Dedoose memo system has been online for a couple of weeks and the feedback is fantastic.  

After a lot of hard work by our Dedoose team, we’re thrilled to finally see the Training Center online.  

Our engineering team takes the performance of Dedoose and the satisfaction of our clientele very personal and have all been hard at working squeezing every last bit of power out of Adobe's flash and flex platform.   We are happy to say we believe we nailed it again!

Hi All, It's been a been few weeks and we've done quite a bit of updating lately.

For all those people working with teams in Dedoose, life just got a lot better!  We are proud to announce the project chat system.  

We just released the first public version of Dedoose 1.2 (1.2.18 technically) which has been in development for quite some time.  

After weeks of some very difficult work our engineering team has finished our first major upgrade to Dedoose!  

While we still have a way to go before releasing a mobile version of Dedoose, it is certainly on the horizon.  

We've uploaded what we feel is a terrific video where I give a brief orientation to qualitative research methods and then their place in mixed methods research (and how Dedoose facilitates the work).

Obtaining the EV certificate was quite an extensive process that included a lot of back and forth with our certificate processor, along with our legal team, but after weeks of set backs we are finally good to go!

Technologies have been rapidly advancing since EthnoNotes was built and we've been dreaming about how to take advantage of this growth.  The dreaming is over, the hard work is behind us, and Dedoose has arrived
