Limits of MAXDictio

Neither the number nor size of the texts nor the amount of text units or words per text unit are limited. The same applies to the dictionary – the number of categories and allocated words are also unlimited.

To a high degree, working with MAXDictio depends on how fast the computer is and how many resources it has. If the number of texts to be counted at the same time reaches a certain quantum, the computer becomes noticeably slower. Projects of up to a million words are manageable for today’s average computers. This should be sufficient for usual projects of qualitative social science.

The more text to be processed simultaneously, the more time the computer needs. All functions also have a bar that indicates the progress. Hence, it is visible how much text MAXDictio has already processed and, thus, possible to calculate how much time will still be needed to complete the entire analysis.
