Text, PDF and Word documents
Import interviews, field notes, articles and reports, or add plain text files. Coded passages keep their exact position in the source.
Features
Code your material, compare evidence, and build findings that trace back to the data. Everything below is in Byleron QDA today.
AI assistance, Results Builder, REFI-QDA exchange, collaboration and transcription are part of the paid plans. The Free plan covers manual coding and analysis for one project. See plans
Bring your data in as it is and keep every source linked to your codes.
Import interviews, field notes, articles and reports, or add plain text files. Coded passages keep their exact position in the source.
Code a region of an image or a time range of a recording, and keep the transcript beside it.
Import an XLSX file with one participant per row. Each row becomes a case, and its columns become document variables you can compare by.
Turn audio and video into text you can edit and code. Transcription hours depend on your plan.
Build a codebook, code by hand, and keep your reasoning with the data.
Create codes, nest them into themes, merge or move them, and give each a definition and coding rule in a memo.
Write memos on codes, documents and projects, and see how memos connect in a memo network.
Attach variables such as age, role or group to each document. Show documents by a short label built from those variables, such as P7 or D12.
Ask for suggested codes for a passage. Nothing is saved until you approve it, so the analysis stays yours.
Find passages and move from a finding back to the evidence.
Combine terms with AND, OR, NOT and NEAR, use brackets, exact phrases and wildcards, or search with a regular expression.
Save a search and run it again later, in the same project.
See every passage a search or code returns, and move selected passages to an existing or a new code.
Code all passages that match a search, then review them before you keep them.
Look at your coding from several angles. Every table and figure can go to your results.
See how often each code appears, in how many documents, and how much of each text it covers.
See which codes appear together, using counts and the Jaccard, Dice and overlap measures, and split the result by group.
Compare how codes are spread across groups such as gender or grade. Tests use Fisher's exact or chi-square, with Benjamini-Hochberg correction and an effect size.
Group codes or documents that pattern alike and read the result as a cluster tree.
See the most used words with word rules for English, Turkish and Spanish.
Follow codes across stages or time, and explore case-code and memo networks.
Find the cases that do not fit a pattern, so you can report them.
AI is optional and always reviewed by you.
Ask questions about your documents and codes in plain language.
The Results Builder gives the AI only the evidence you select, and written interpretation rules for each figure type keep the wording careful. For example, "significant" needs a test.
Go from analysis to a manuscript without copying and pasting.
Collect figures and tables from your analysis, add findings with linked quotations, and export to Word with numbered captions.
Describe your study once and reuse it. Draft a Methods section from what you recorded, and nothing you did not record.
Check agreement and move your project in or out.
Compare two coders with percent agreement, Cohen's kappa and Krippendorff's alpha, at document level.
Work on a project with others, and compare coding rounds.
Export and import projects in the open standard, so you are not locked in.
