    Effective no non-sense software

    I used Qualcoder to code 100 hours of public hearings transcripts and I found it a very pleasant experience. The workflow is intuitive and quick. Even though some transcripts went over 150.000 characters, I was using about 50 codes, and have transcripts with over 100 different coded segments, the program remained stable. Using the | character in the search field allows for the use of multiple keywords at once, which was very effective. The report function allows you to produce overviews of interview segments per code and various kinds of statistical analysis, which can be integrated with R-Studio. Many thanks to Dr. Colin Curtain for the development and software support.

    ๐Ÿ‘ Pros:    Active community|Completely free and open source|Very stable|Intuitive workflow|Integration with r-studio
    ๐Ÿ‘Ž Cons:    .pdf coding requires turning pages in file
