How do the f4 licenses and the quota work?
<\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]You should find two emails in your inbox (check your spam folder if necessary).<\/p>\n

An email contains the license numbers for f4transkript and f4analyse<\/strong>. Your students can easily download f4transkript and f4analyse from our download page<\/a>, install them, and enter the appropriate license number. On each computer, you can then work for 20 consecutive days, with the count tracked individually for each computer.<\/p>\n

The second email<\/strong> contains a quota code for f4x automatic transcription<\/strong>. Automatic transcription works a little differently because it is a GDPR-compliant online service. To do this, each person must first create a free account at f4x.audiotranskription.de. One hour of data allowance will then be automatically added. Using the quota code from your email, you can extend this by another hour. This allows you to automatically convert a good two hours of audio into text. If you need more, you can purchase additional allocations. We think it might be a good teaching strategy to introduce the automatic transcription feature (f4) only after students have had their first experiences with manual transcription :)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” full_width=”stretch_row” padding_style=”vertical-padding-bot-5-percent” el_id=”instructional materials”][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8 vc_col-sm-offset-1″]

Examples of Methods \u2013 Bringing Software and Methods Together
<\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Often, it is precisely this combination that poses a particular challenge: A) Select, understand, and apply a qualitative research methodology, and B) Finally, select, understand, and use QDA software in a way that is appropriate for the chosen methodology.<\/p>\n

Our method examples are a great source of inspiration for precisely these practical questions of \u201chow do I actually go about doing this?\u201d Here you will find guides on how to conduct metaphor analysis, reconstructive-hermeneutic analysis, the documentary method, grounded theory, and qualitative content analysis:<\/p>\n

New Practical Guide, \u201cInterview, Transcription & Analysis,\u201d and New Transcription Rules
<\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]With the 9th edition of our practical guide (first published in 2011), we continue to introduce newcomers to qualitative research projects. It addresses questions such as: Why conduct qualitative research in the first place? How do I conduct interviews? How do I transcribe them? And how do I analyze the data?<\/p>\n

The biggest change from previous editions is the transcription system. Our focus was on making things much simpler: just 5 rules instead of the previous 14! In addition, it has been updated to include important information on data protection in interview-based research:[\/vc_column_text]

Using AI & ChatGPT4o in Qualitative Research
<\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Drawing on our experience and personal testing, we explore the current possibilities and implications of using AI in qualitative research. It has already undergone a fundamental transformation in some work processes as a result of AI (as of June 2024): https:\/\/www.audiotranskription.de\/qualitative-analyse-mit-ki\/<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” full_width=”stretch_row” el_id=”outlook”][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8 vc_col-sm-offset-1″]

Outlook: Just ONE f4 for everything
<\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]We expect to release the first beta version of the new f4 version at the 2024 Berlin Methods Conference. From then on, there will be \u201conly\u201d ONE f4 for everything. f4x, f4transkript, and f4analyse merge into a comprehensive software solution that seamlessly integrates automatic speech recognition, manual transcription, and correction of existing texts, and provides qualitative analysis. No more switching between programs or adjusting specific file formats. From that point on, the validity period of the instructor licenses will also be extended to 30 days.
