Provalis Research is glad to announce the release of a free version of our
QDA Miner qualitative coding tool. This free version is called QDA Miner
Lite.
We removed from the full version of QDA Miner the advanced text retrieval
tools (query-by-example, section retrieval, clustered coding, etc.), most of
the analysis features (clustering, mds, crosstab, etc.) and several advanced
code management features. However, we keep all the essential features for
importing, coding, annotating documents and images and for retrieving coded
segments. We also implemented a new file format for storing a whole project
in a single file.
The result is, in our opinion, an easy-to-use CAQDAS tool ideal for those on
tiny budgets (or with no budget) or those who wish to teach qualitative
research in classes and are looking for something more intuitive and more
powerful than existing freeware.

Please note that this is the very first release of QDA Miner Lite. We may
add additional features in the future.
