We built Annotations to help researchers annotate documents, and facilitate qualitative data analysis. It is also used to assess or give feedback on text documents of all sizes.

Annotations simplifies adding highlights, keywords and notes to documents while keeping the documents clean and readable. A number of tools allows you to organise and filter these annotations easily to focus on the right ones at a time. It also features a Summary mode to view and export only what has been annotated – so you can use it for team discussions or another part of your workflow.

If you would like to try Annotations, I would be interested in your feedback.

Please visit our website http://annotationsapp.com for more information and to download a trial version.

“help researchers annotate documents”

Annotate what type of document? Does not recognize PDFs. Help doesn’t explain either.

Sorry ... just noticed the blurb on the home page: “Add any text or Microsoft® Word document to your project. “

Would think, though, that “annotation” frequently applies to PDF.

Annotations is so far indeed only supporting text and Word files which works very well for researchers gathering their own data in interviews or surveys for instance. We’re busy to evolve and improve Annotations over time and do understand that there’re many people who find their data being available as PDF only.

Well, I think it’s great. There are loads of PDF annotators around, but very few that allow you to import text, RTF and Word documents and annotate them as if they were PDFs. What a great idea! I’ve CRIMPed it immediately - I can see it being very useful for working through complex documents, especially articles in a single publication or related press releases/white papers. Obviously the more formats you can introduce, the better. But it already fills a very useful niche.

Keep up the good work.
