Built for qualitative and mixed-methods research

Do more than store data.
Make sense of it.

Byleron QDA is qualitative data analysis (QDA) software that runs in your browser. Code text, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, and video in one workspace. Compare evidence, uncover patterns, and build findings through a transparent chain of analysis.

Participant interview · 00:04:18

At first I had reservations about the system. Once I could reach the support team, the process became much clearer.

The main issue was that internet access was not equally reliable everywhere, so I missed some meetings.

Over time we redistributed responsibilities and changed how the team worked.

  1. 01

    Import

    Bring different research materials into a single project.

  2. 02

    Code

    Select text, time ranges, and visual regions with precision.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Examine codes, cases, and document groups together.

  4. 04

    Interpret

    Move from evidence to findings with memos and Results Builder.

  5. 05

    Share

    Export reports or exchange the complete project as .qdpx.

Researcher focused

Assistance that strengthens your analysis without replacing it

Move from mixed research materials to evidence-linked findings in one transparent, researcher-controlled workflow.

One mixed-data workspace

Use the same coding and memo workflow across text, spreadsheets, PDF, image, audio, and video.

Researcher-reviewed AI

Inspect, adjust, accept, or reject every provisional code and evidence anchor before it changes the project.

Question-organized comparison

Compare interview answers question by question and build a stable hierarchy of reusable subcodes.

Evidence-grounded Chat with Data

Ask across a document, selected documents, or an interview question and follow answers back to exact evidence.

Codebook intelligence

Audit coding, refine definitions, and develop hierarchical code suggestions while preserving researcher decisions.

Evidence-linked Results Builder

Connect selected evidence, analyses, figures, tables, and academic interpretation in an editable results draft.

Open project exchange

Move standards-based projects through QDPX while retaining application-specific work in compatible project notes.

Metadata-aware analysis

Examine patterns alongside participant and document characteristics without separating them from their evidence.

Independent language controls

Choose interface, source, and AI-writing languages independently to match multilingual research workflows.

Open project exchange

Moving from another QDA tool should not hold you back.

Use REFI-QDA Project Exchange to import or export code systems, sources, codings, and standard memos in .qdpx format.

  • Standards-based project exchange
  • Stable identities across repeated exports
  • Clear compatibility reports for unsupported items

What can I do in Byleron QDA?

Byleron QDA brings source management, manual coding, memos, multimedia transcripts, analysis, AI-assisted review, and results preparation into one research project. You can work with different file types without creating a separate analysis environment for each format. Codes, evidence, document metadata, and memos remain connected as you move from reading to analysis and reporting.

What are the first steps in a new project?

A first project takes about ten steps, in this order. You can stop after any step and come back, because everything is saved with the project. If you would like to practise first, open the Sample project instead.

Read the full answer
Which file types can I analyze?

You can work with plain text, DOCX documents, PDF files, XLSX spreadsheets, common image formats, audio, and video. The available coding tools adapt to the material: text selections for machine-readable text, rectangular regions for visual material, transcript selections for recorded speech, and time or frame ranges for media. Under “+ File” the Text file option also lets you add plain text files.
