Qualitative data analysis in your browser

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

Materials

Bring your data in as it is and keep every source linked to your codes.

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.

Images, audio and video

Code a region of an image or a time range of a recording, and keep the transcript beside it.

Survey and spreadsheet import

Import an XLSX file with one participant per row. Each row becomes a case, and its columns become document variables you can compare by.

AI transcription

Turn audio and video into text you can edit and code. Transcription hours depend on your plan.

Coding and organising

Build a codebook, code by hand, and keep your reasoning with the data.

Codes and code hierarchies

Create codes, nest them into themes, merge or move them, and give each a definition and coding rule in a memo.

Memos

Write memos on codes, documents and projects, and see how memos connect in a memo network.

Document variables and labels

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.

AI coding suggestions

Ask for suggested codes for a passage. Nothing is saved until you approve it, so the analysis stays yours.

Analysis

Look at your coding from several angles. Every table and figure can go to your results.

Code frequencies and coverage

See how often each code appears, in how many documents, and how much of each text it covers.

Code co-occurrence

See which codes appear together, using counts and the Jaccard, Dice and overlap measures, and split the result by group.

Comparison 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.

Cluster analysis

Group codes or documents that pattern alike and read the result as a cluster tree.

Word frequency and clouds

See the most used words with word rules for English, Turkish and Spanish.

Trajectories and networks

Follow codes across stages or time, and explore case-code and memo networks.

Negative cases and outliers

Find the cases that do not fit a pattern, so you can report them.

AI assistance

AI is optional and always reviewed by you.

Chat with your data

Ask questions about your documents and codes in plain language.

Written findings from your evidence

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.

Results and reporting

Go from analysis to a manuscript without copying and pasting.

Results Builder

Collect figures and tables from your analysis, add findings with linked quotations, and export to Word with numbered captions.

Methods and project details

Describe your study once and reuse it. Draft a Methods section from what you recorded, and nothing you did not record.

Reliability and exchange

Check agreement and move your project in or out.

Intercoder agreement

Compare two coders with percent agreement, Cohen's kappa and Krippendorff's alpha, at document level.

Shared projects and coder rounds

Work on a project with others, and compare coding rounds.

REFI-QDA exchange (.qdpx)

Export and import projects in the open standard, so you are not locked in.
