We've been busy over these cold winter months (and in many of the warmer ones that preceded them, for that matter!) in updating our card sorting tools. The biggest news is that we have released our long-awaited SynCaps V2 card sort processing and cluster analysis package, but there's more, as described below. I am also pleased to announce our first webinar on the subject of card sorting in general and our new tools in particular. This is brief and free (what more could you ask?). Details are at the bottom of the message. UNICODE SUPPORT The latest releases of SynCaps V1 and V2 now support Unicode, which means you are not limited to Latin character sets. Browse here to see our wines card sort example in Cyrillic - http://www.syntagm.co.uk/images/wines-cyrillic.gif SORT ANYTHING WITH LABELS Our mail merge templates for Word now include standard address labels so you can print text and/or bar codes to put on the back of photographs or objects. Best of all, the Word templates and instructions are still free. (See http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/cardsortdl.shtml#templates) SYNCAPS V2 RELEASED Merge similar groups and items plus get quick and effective visual summaries of sort results with a range of new features added in SynCaps V2. SynCaps V1 will continue to be our 'lightweight' edition but we would expect most researchers and usability professionals to save enough time in their first use of V2 to repay its purchase price almost immediately. Also, with the pound at a record low against most currencies, now is a great time to buy British<g>. See a comparison between versions 1 and 2 at http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/syncaps-compare.shtml If you attended one of our UK courses and have a preview edition of SynCaps V2, you can just download the final release. If you are using SynCaps V1, there is an attractive upgrade path.
