If no INTERACT Professional license is available, and nobody can configure a study specific workflow using the Create Codes from Transcripts module, it is still possible to use the Replace command to tag specific words or phrases in order to run the Create Codes from Transcript command.
All you need to do, is tag those words with a # and than you can make use of the command Gekennzeichnete #Wörter in Codes umwandeln.
Tag Words
To turn your word or 'expression' into '#expression', you use the Replace command:
•Select Bearbeiten - Suchen & Ersetzen - Ersetzen .
▪Die Option ¤ Kommentare auswählen.
▪Das gesuchte Wort als Suchbegriff eintragen.
▪Die neue Definition in das Feld Ersetzen mit.. eintragen., like this:
•Click Replace to perform the action.
Now all occurrences of the word 'expression' are turned into '#expression'
Note: Pay attention to spaces around a word!
Create Codes from #words
Once your expression is tagged with the #:
•Select Text - Erweitert - Textanalyse > Gekennzeichnete #Wörter in Codes umwandeln
Now all #-words are entered within a new Class column named 'NewCode'.
Remove #
To remove all # signs from the transcripts again, use the Bearbeiten - Suchen & Ersetzen - Ersetzen command again:
•Replace # with nothing, or replace '#expression' with 'expression'.
Rename 'NewCode' Class
Once your expression has been successfully converted into a Code, rename the automatically create Class 'NewCode' to a more appropriate name:
•Right-click the header of the automatically created 'NewCode' Class.
•Select Rename Class from the context menu and enter a descriptive name.
IMPORTANT: The Gekennzeichnete #Wörter in Codes umwandeln routine can only turn one '#expression' per Event per pass into a Code!
Running the routine a second time for an other expression will remove previous entries within the Class 'NewCode', if their # label has been removed.
That is why it is important to rename the automatically created Class after each run.
TIP: | If you have to turn multiple expressions into Codes, perform all of the above actions per expression separately (including the renaming of the Class and removal of the # labels). This results in multiple Classes, each with only one Code. To merge the content of the resulting Classes afterward, you can make use of the command Transformieren - Codes - Verschieben & kombinieren ![]() |
