This is a professional application for systematic analysis of unstructured data, combining manual analytical work and automatic text processing tools. The program is designed to work with interviews, focus groups, surveys, PDFs, audio, and video: you can code excerpts, store memos, create codebooks, and visualize connections between topics. ATLAS.ti supports qualitative data analysis and mixed methods research approaches: you can combine quantitative tables and semantic analysis, export results for publication, and organize team collaboration.
