MAXQDA - The Art of Text Analysis


MAXDictio

MAXDictio, an add-on software to MAXQDA, is used for analyzing vocabulary, creating dictionaries, and performing quantitative content analysis. It is completely integrated into MAXQDA 2007: all functions are accessible in MAXQDA’s menu bar (MAXDictio is not compatible with MAXqda2).

Functionality

As a dictionary- and content analysis-tool, MAXDictio makes it easy to examine the vocabulary used in a manuscript and search particular text passages or full texts for specific words. The software also highlights vocabulary differences between texts or coded segments of a project. MAXDictio offers many classical quantitative content analysis techniques. It is not a competitive program for performing quantitative data analysis, but rather uses quantitative content analysis techniques to support and enrich qualitative data analysis. If you have had to work with often complicated and frustrating content analysis programs are sure to appreciate MAXDictio.

What are the benefits of MAXDictio?
Some examples: analyzing vocabulary, creating dictionaries, using the coder and exporting results (see the online tutorial).
MAXDictio has proven itself to be a worthy competitor for established content analysis programs like “Textpack” from ZUMA. As a matter of fact, a quick glance at MAXDictio dictionary structure is sufficient to convince all experienced quantitative content analysis program users its power.
MAXDictio has undergone a major revision and its current version, MAXDictio 2007, contains numerous important innovations of the ‘Dictionary’, ‘Word frequencies’, ‘Search items’, and ‘Coder’.
