In case you haven’t noticed yet: the latest version of NVivo is out. And guess what? It’s version 10! According to QSRInternational, we can expect some significant progress from this version, both in terms of usability and features: According to their announcement, NVivo now…
- … captures and works with web pages and online PDFs [That’s what I’ve long been waiting for!]
- … imports Facebook posts, LinkedIn discussions and tweets from Twitter [not so relevant for my work, but interesting feature, for people doing “netnograpgy”]
- … automatically codes social media data quickly and easily visualizes the results
- … works with content like memos, photos and web clips from Evernote [Now that is… wow!]
- … is even more user-friendly and efficient to use [Blah. OK, could have left that one out…]
- Handles 150% more data than NVivo 9 [That refers to the larger File Size that your NVivo project can have, something for people with many interview recordings or videos]
- Performs 50% faster than NVivo 9 [Now if it’s true this one should be listed first! So considering just how slooooow NVivo 9 was, let’s see how much less slow “50% faster” is…]
I have not had the time to look into the new version so I have to leave it at that for today. But please comment below if you have tried it and let us know what you think!
