TAMS Analyzer
Text Analysis Markup System (TAMS) is a convention for identifying themes in texts (web pages, interviews, field notes). It was designed for use in ethnographic and discourse research. TAMS Analyzer works with TAMS to let you assign ethnographic codes to passages of a text by selecting the relevant text and double-clicking the name of the code on a list. It then allows you to extract, analyze, and save coded information. The Macintosh version of the program also includes full support for transcription (back space, insert time code, jump to time code, etc.) when working with data on sound files.
