word count/word frequency

[Daromir Rudnyckyj]

Is there a way to count the number of times individual words appear in one's text set as an aggregate?

I am using MaxQDA ver. 1 and it would be very helpful to know a technique through which I could see which words appear most frequently in my text groups as an aggregate. For example, I want to find out which were the 100 most common words to appear in my text groups as a whole (which number about 300).

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you,

Daromir

Hello Daromir,

yes of course there is a way to do that. Please use the addon MAXDictio. Take a look at the Tutorial first: http://www.maxqda.com/maxqda-eng/3_funktionen.htm

To try it at home, you may download MAXqda2 demoversion which includes MAXDictio

Best regards

Oh, very good thank you. Is there anyway that I could use MaxDictio with MAXqda ver. 1? Or must I use the demo version of ver. 2?

Yes there is a way, but unfortunately there is no demoversion to test it. You are only able to buy the MaxDictio add on for MAXqda1. If you like to test it before, just use the MAXqda2 Demoversion. The functions are the same.
