MAXQDA – The Art of Text Analysis


MAXDictio

MAXDictio, an add-on software for MAXQDA, is used for analyzing vocabulary, creating dictionaries and performing quantitative content analysis. It is completely integrated into MAXQDAplus; 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 differences in vocabulary between texts or coded segments in 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 worked with complicated and frustrating content analysis programs in the past, you 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. A quick glance at MAXDictio’s dictionary structure is sufficient to convince experienced quantitative content analysis program users of 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’.
