Every process step is constructed to be easily performed by the student.

1. Collect Data on various information.

2. Transcribe Excerpts.

3. Link Demography data.

4. Extract Excerpts.

5. Create Codes.

6. Develop Code Map.

7. Analyze Demography data.

8. Write Report.

Transcripted data in Excel format can be easily imported into AsterWrite.

This is true for most types of surveys including Individual Surveys.

… or Group Surveys.

Excerpts can also be directly entered or imported from Excel files.

Demographical data can also be imported through Excel files.

Here is a sample demography data analysis.
