We're pleased to announce version 1.1 of our SynCaps card sorting and cluster analysis software (SYNtagm Computer-Aided Paper Sorting). SynCaps version 1.1 adds several exciting new (and useful) features: - It will read input files from IBM's EZSort suite (.rec files created by USort or similar). This means that SynCaps can be used as a robust replacement to the analysis portion of EZCalc. - SynCaps supports two new card sorting concepts: sub-groups (as found in USort) and multiple-copy sorting. The latter allows participants to work with more than one copy of each card and to include these in different groups. - The item file and proximity matrix are output in dendogram order. For the proximity matrix this means it is now very easy to use Excel (or similar) to produce a surface map (see our web site for examples). There are also improvements to existing features: - The import and export dialog is easier to use and provides greater control over processing options. - The instructions are now more extensive and provide step-by-step details on how to perform additional analyses. Users of SynCaps V1.0 can upgrade for free - just download the new executable plus either the revised A4 or US Letter templates and instructions. New users can try SynCaps free for 30 days.(Continue reading)
