Great article on the importance of 'interjections': I'm a big fan of them in qualitative interviews. People sometimes worry they make verbose transcription more difficult, but it's much worse to try and do without them and not give your participants any 'verbal' feedback or encouragement

TIL about taguette, which is the #foss I've always wanted as someone who dabbles in #qualitative research from time to time. The standard software people use always felt way to bloated, and now these tools are increasingly also "AI-enhanced" 👹, brrr...

It does one thing (annotate text with qualitative codes) and does it really well.
