========



A spin on the phrase "tag it!", `Taguette `__ is a free and open source qualitative research tool that allows users to:



+ Import PDFs, Word Docs (``.docx``), Text files (``.txt``), HTML, EPUB, MOBI, Open Documents (``.odt``), and Rich Text Files (``.rtf``).

+ Highlight words, sentences, or paragraphs and tag them with the codes *you* create.

+ (not yet) Group imported documents together (e.g. as 'Interview' or 'Lit Review').

+ Export tagged documents, highlights for a specific tag, a list of tags with descriptions and colors, and whole projects.

Motivation and goal

-------------------



Qualitative methods generate rich, detailed research materials that leave individuals' perspectives intact as well as provide multiple contexts for understanding the phenomenon under study. Qualitative methods are used by a wide range of fields, such as anthropology, education, nursing, psychology, sociology, and marketing. Qualitative data has a similarly wide range: observations, interviews, documents, audiovisual materials, and more.



However - the software options for qualitative researchers are either **far too expensive**, don't allow for the seminal method of highlighting and tagging materials, *or actually perform quantitative analysis*, just on text.



**It's not right or fair that qualitative researchers without massive research funds cannot afford the basic software to do their research.**



So, to bolster a fair and equitable entry into qualitative methods, we've made Taguette!



Installation

------------



You can find complete installation instructions on `our website `__, including installers for Windows and MacOS.



Development setup from the repository

-------------------------------------



You can install from a local clone of this repository, which will allow you to easily change the sources to suit your needs:



1. Clone this git repository from the terminal: ``git clone https://gitlab.com/remram44/taguette.git``

2. Navigate on the command line to the repository you've just cloned locally, using the ``cd`` command. To get help using ``cd``, use `this tutorial `__.

3. Taguette uses `Poetry `__ for its packaging and dependency management. You will need to `install Poetry `__.

4. Install Taguette and its dependencies by running ``poetry install``. Poetry will create a virtual environment for you by default, activate it by running ``poetry shell``.

5. Build translation files using ``scripts/update_translations.sh``.

6. You can start taguette in development mode using ``taguette --debug`` (or ``taguette --debug server ``). This will start Tornado in debug mode, which means in particular that it will auto-restart every time you make changes.

7. Navigate to `localhost:7465 `__ to use Taguette!
