f4analyse functions
Text-based analysis
Import your word-files (RTF)
Import all your texts into the program and start reading and analysing. f4analyse assists you to structure your material, to clearly organise findings, to find exciting passages and to export a clear overview of your findings.
Using timestamps, you can listen to the corresponding audio track.
Memos & comments
Write down ideas and interpretations
Record notes in memos for text passages or write comments for texts and codes. Memos are visible in the text similarly to a messenger chat. Comments are displayed in the field below the text or code. This is where you can note case summaries, concepts, theoretical ideas, code definitions and interpretations.
In addition, you can code the memos to organise your ideas further.
Coding system
Create codes and code texts and memos
Codes allow you to structure your texts and memos. Regardless if developed inductively or deductively, the coding system is organised clearly and hierarchically. Codes can be clearly distinguished by different colours. Coded passages are then underlined with the respective colour in the text (repeatedly and multi-coloured where applicable).
One click on the code shows the quotations – you can listen to them using the key F4.
Selection and search
Filter quotations from your tests and codes
Display specific quotations from selected texts and codes. This allows you to break down text passages into different sub-codes and to read, condense and compare statements from individuals or groups.
In addition, the lexical search function enables a quick listing and auto coding of search results and their context.
Summary and Comparison
Reflective interpretation, summary or theme
The new view helps you to evaluate themes, interpretations and summaries. You can compare themes and documents.
Our practical examples demonstrate how this function can be used with different methodological approaches.
Distribution
Matrix and frequency distribution
The code distribution table displays the frequency of codes per text. The assigned quotations can be shown with one click. This allows you to easily compare cases and topics as well as to navigate quickly through your coded data.
In addition, you can export both the frequency distribution list as well as the tabular list of all quotations into Excel (and SPSS).
Teamwork and exchange
Open for teamwork and more
Use your Windows, Mac, Linux computer or your iPad while travelling to work on the same file everywhere. If you are working in a team, you can exchange and merge the entire project or only the coding tree.
Your data is saved in an open XML format and can be easily exported to Word, Excel, MAXQDA and SPSS.
