My “codus” operandi involved 1) printing the transcripts 2) re-reading the transcripts while making notes on the edges, highlighting writing codes.
Ultimately, I had about 150 pages of transcripts and it was time to code and analyze the data. Had a horrid time transcribing the 6 interviews. Recorded the 1-on-1 interviews using a mini tape recorder – lots of background noise. Let me take you back to the beginning of this millennium, when I conducted my first qualitative research (bear with me, this is a short story in lieu of why we provide NVivo transcription services).
