SWIFT Content Analysis Software (site down)
SWIFT stands for Structured Word Identification and Frequency Table, an interactive, keyword-based program for analyzing multiple, short texts. SWIFT is free, operating system DOS. This free program seems best suited to coding open ended text responses.

ATLAS/ti
Computer software for the support of text interpretation, text management and the extraction of conceptual knowledge from documents (theory building). Application areas include social sciences, economics, educational sciences, criminology, market research, quality management, knowledge acquisition, and theology. The software is available for IBM PCs and compatibles (DOS version). A 32-bit Windows version (Windows 95, Windows/NT and Windows 3.1) is now available, a free trial version is provided via download.

WordStat v5.0 (http://www.kovcomp.co.uk)
This add-on to the Simstat statistical analysis program includes several exploratory tools, such as cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling, for the analysis of open-ended survey responses and other texts. It also codes based on user-supplied dictionaries and generates word frequency and alphabetical lists, KWIC, multi-unit data file output, and bivariate comparisons between subgroups. The differences between subgroups or numeric variables (e.g., age, date of publication) can be displayed visually in high resolution line and bar charts and through 2-D and 3-D correspondence analysis bi-plots. One particularly noteworthy feature of the program is a dictionary building tool that uses the WordNet lexical database and other dictionaries (in English and five other languages) to help users build a comprehensive categorization system.
