NVivo Transcription
60% of NVivo users are doing their own transcription, taking vital time away from data analysis and core research.
Now you can simply upload your audio file from NVivo 12 and let NVivo Transcription do the rest. With good quality audio, you can expect up to 90% accuracy and a file transcribed in a timespan of half the length of the audio. You can then make amendments, notes and tag speakers using a specialized editor and directly import transcribed files into NVivo 12.

Enhanced support for mixed methods analysis
Easily cross tabulate your data
View coding distribution across a population by cross tabulating theme nodes against cases, like people or places, and attributes like age or occupation, so you can quickly quantify coding data for comparison.
Quickly exchange data with SPSS
With NVivo 12 it’s easy to exchange data with SPSS.
View your data through different lenses
Easily visualize and understand cross tabulated data, and create a snapshot that can guide writing up findings.
Redesigned NVivo 12 for Windows navigation
It’s more intuitive so you can focus on your research, not learning software.
Take advantage of a redesigned ribbon
Easily explore your data with commonly used commands at the front of the ribbon, simplified default tabs and new contextual tabs that show options relevant to what you’re working on.
Customize your view for quick access
Take control and pin your frequently used folders and items in navigation view for quick access to what you need.
Find items faster
The Find bar is now easier to use and results are returned live while you type, so you can find things faster.
Cleaner look and feel with more intuitive language
The left-hand side navigation view is now cleaner, offers you more control and uses common words like Files and Codes, instead of terms like Sources and Nodes, helping new NVivo users get up and running faster.

What´s new in Update 4
Manage your coding with codebook
This latest update lets you see a list all of your nodes and their descriptions. This way, you can review how your research is progressing, review early themes and evaluate your analysis.
Export a summary of your coding structure to Microsoft Word or Excel so that you can share it with others.
You can show nodes and sub-nodes within your project, their descriptions, a count of the coding references and the number of sources coded so that you can discuss and align coding practices with your team members or describe your coding methods with your supervisor.
Keep the codebook by your side as you code the source materials. This way you will remember your Nodes and never waste time wondering which node to use.
Explore your coding at the click of a button
When you’re looking at your nodes, get direct access to word clouds, charts and queries to explore your coding at the click of a button.
Now you can:
- See if there is overlap with other themes
- Find the most common words people are using to describe this theme
- See what the broader context is
- Find any commonalities or differences between the people who mention this theme
Simply open a node and select an option from the Node tab:
Edit and produce high resolution charts
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made charts even easier to work with. Whether it’s reviewing the coding in an interview or checking the demographic spread of research participants – charts give you a visual way to explore your data.
From a centralized Chart ribbon, you can now change the format and edit charts. You can also export charts at a higher resolution – so they look even better in reports and presentations.
What´s new in Update 3?
Research on-the-go with NVivo and OneNote
OneNote Online is an invaluable tool for taking notes, keeping to-do lists, recording interviews, and taking photos - whether you’re at your desk or out in the field. Now, with the latest update to NVivo, you can easily connect to your OneNote account and import the notes you want to work with into NVivo 11 for Windows.

Streamlined survey imports
- Faster Insights
Use the Survey Import Wizard to move from survey import to querying and visualizing in a few clicks – that means less time setting-up and more time uncovering gems. - Edit after Import
It's tricky to get your survey results into perfect working order before import into NVivo - after all, you're excited and itching to get started.
That's why this update offers you the ability to make changes after import. For example, you can edit the wording of your questions or move columns around. - Ready, Set, Qualtrics
Qualtrics is one of the market-leaders in online surveys. Use your Qualtrics account to bring your survey results directly into NVivo for analysis.
Visualize the results of automated insights analysis straight away
- Auto code material as you import
If you're using NVivo 11 Plus for Windows there's even more to get excited about. The import wizard can automatically code themes and sentiment in your open-ended survey responses. - Visualize automated theme and sentiment coding
NVivo 11 Plus for Windows now gives you a new way to explore automated insights. If you've coded your material by theme or sentiment - you can see the results in a hierarchical chart. For example, take a look at a hierarchy chart based on sentiment analysis - you can quickly see the dominant sentiment (positive, negative or neutral) for each question in your survey. - Automated Insights just got smarter
NVivo Plus can find and automatically code the themes in your research material and, if you're working in English, the latest update streamlines the process even further. NVivo will now merge sub-themes with stemmed forms (catching fish, fish catching, catch fish) so that you end-up with a tidy, more manageable list of themes.
