Request Feature

I'd love to see what text I've already coded in the document which would be easy if it was automatically highlighted but this should be in the same colour as the coding strip down the side. At the moment there seems to be a limited choice of colours so this also needs extending to help with this function.

Please provide an option for autosaving projects every 5mins/10mins

Google Speech offer speech recognition that can create transcripts that are fairly good as a starting point for transcribing interviews. It will naturally not transcribe the interviews perfectly, however I find it useful enough as a starting point. Instead of manually uploading files using python, would it be possible to create a feature to transcribe interviews in Nvivio using the Google Speach API, MS Cortana or Amazon Alexa? Google Speech currently offer speech recognition in more languages than MS Cortana and Amazon Alexa, but they will all work i suppose.

I would like more colour coding strips in other colours or the option that lets you add new colour to a new strip. There are not enough as it stands at the moment!

I want more than 7 colors so I can use a Hue to identify one aspect and various tones/shades to identify others (this could help with all sorts of visual strategies: Darker = more important; Hue = a theoretical frame with tones as separate subthemes or subnodes, etc. etc.)

NVIvo allows me to import and classify sources and cases, using attribute values. If I want to classify items, I need a classification structure. And CLASSIFICATION is a French word!!!! The use of the term Characteristic/Caractéristique seems to me totally inadequate. In some ways, “caractéristique” is much closer and related to the notion of "attribute value". I classify cases using a series of characteristics/caractéristiques (gender, age, etc.) that define them. Caractéristiques/attributes values allows me to create FILES OR CASES CLASSIFICATION ! As a trainer, it’s sometimes (often) difficult and painstaking to explain to trainees this notion of classification, especially when it comes to justifying and understanding the relevance of creating cases in a research project. At the end of a training workshop, the participants happily end up understanding case classification’s meaning and usefulness. They come to understand it because I talk about CLASSIFICATION, absolutely not about characteristic. Could you please (QSR team ;-) rename “Caractéristique de fichier” and “Caractéristique de cas” for “Classification de fichiers” and “Classification de cas”…

I find it frustrating that I cannot use this keyboard shortcut in Descriptions like I can in Files (Sources), Memos and Annotations - I use Descriptions to track the development of my thinking about e.g. a concept represented by a Node, so dating is important. Inserting Date/Time manually means the formatting is not consistent with those inserted elsewhere (which is annoying). I would also like the number of characters allowed in Descriptions to be increased.

It would be very useful to have touchbar integration with the app to speed up productivity. The current set up means that it is slow and not user friendly to pause/play and rw/ff media content and the touchbar buttons could also integrate coding and formatting options.

In the version for windows it is possible to see the total number of codes. In NVivo for Mac we don´t have immediate access to that information...

It should be possible to 'quick' search nodes i.e. 'cmd F or ctrl F' in Nvivo Mac, like Nvivo windows, but I have not found a way!
