If you're able to record your interviews, I'll echo previous suggestions to
consider transcribing them. I've gone this route a few times and find it's
very helpful: like having a full-text search of everything you talked about
with participants.

Next time I conduct interviews, I plan to test-drive the transcription
service from CastingWords. Quite affordable at $0.75/minute. And interesting
because it uses Amazon's Mechanical Turk model -- transcription is
"parallelized" by distributing to humans around the world.

Anyone used CastingWords and care to share their experience?
