Re. Evelyn's question about a free QDA: RQDA is free and open source. It's also interesting because of its connection to R, but it has a bit of a learning curve and isn't as user-friendly as some of the paid options. (See:
<a href="https://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/">https://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/</a>) There's also ANTCONC (<a href="https://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/">https://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/</a>_ ), which is a corpus analysis program.</div>

<div dir="ltr"> Hi All,
<div>I’ve been using Panopto’s auto-transcription because our school has a license with them. But Zoom’s auto transcription feature works pretty well too. Same reason - trying to do things that are free for students and we have site licenses with both Panopto
and Zoom. BTW, the Panopto Spanish translation works pretty well too! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But since we’re on this - anyone also know of a free version of something like Dedoose or other QDA? </div>

Hi all, I'm wondering which transcription software you ask your undergraduate students to use to transcribe interviews and other data? I've tried a few, yet most seem to come with transcription per day or week limits without a subscription or have another significant
barrier to use. I'm interested in any feedback and discussion around this topic. Thank you and I hope your 2026 is off to a great beginning, Natalie Dollar</div>
