MAXQDA is a software program designed for computer-assisted qualitative and mixed methods data, text and multimedia analysis in academic, scientific, and business institutions. It is being developed and distributed by VERBI Software based in Berlin, Germany.
MAXQDA is designed for the use in qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research.[2] The emphasis on going beyond qualitative research can be observed in the extensive attributes function (called variables in the programme itself) and the ability of the programme to deal relatively quickly with larger numbers of interviews[which?].[3]
Products[edit]
MAXQDA Standard[edit]
The standard version of MAXQDA[4] for macOS and Windows offers tools for the organisation and analysis of qualitative data. This includes text, audio, image, video and bibliographical files as well as survey data, Twitter tweets or focus group transcripts. The data can be analysed in a four-screen window with the help of codes and memos. MAXQDA's visualisation functions and export options facilitate presentations. MAXQDA includes some quantitative data analysis tools (e.g. Mixed Methods tools[5]).
MAXQDA Plus[edit]
MAXQDA Plus is an extended version of MAXQDA and includes the MAXDictio module.[6] MAXDictio can be used to create dictionaries, as well as to search and filter text files. Vocabulary and word frequency analyses can be used to support qualitative findings.
MAXQDA Analytics Pro[edit]
MAXQDA Analytics Pro is the most advanced version of MAXQDA. Besides the MAXDictio module, it also integrates a comprehensive module for statistical analysis of qualitative data. The 'Stats' module offers tools to statistically analyze MAXQDA project data or import and work with external quantitative data sets in Excel or SPSS.

The MAXQDA Reader makes it possible to read and search MAXQDA projects without owning a license. Projects cannot be edited.
MAXApp[edit]
MAXApp is a free mobile application available for Android and iOS that includes some core functions of MAXQDA. It enables users to create and code data and notes in the field, and export them to a computer or an existing MAXQDA project afterwards.

Code and retrieve
Mark important information in your data with different codes by using codes, colors, symbols, or emoticons. Code quickly via drag & drop or with automatic coding, search for words and organize your thoughts and theories in memos that can be linked to any element of your project.
Retrieve your coded segments with one click or use MAXQDA’s powerful search tools to test and develop new theories.
Memos
Great ideas will often occur to you while you’re reading or coding your data. Memos are the perfect place to note them down. Choose from 11 different memo icons. The unique MAXQDA memo manager and lexical search function guarantee immediate access to every single memo at any time. Memos are also great for creating audit trails or for paraphrasing passages into your own words.
Analyze and transcribe media files
Use MAXQDA to code audio and video files directly without creating a transcript first. Or transcribe your media to analyze the written text instead – while always staying connected to the original media clips. MAXQDA has extended transcription functions with which you can adapt the speed or the sound volume of your audio and video files and use foot pedals to speed up the transcription.
Media clips are treated like any other segments in MAXQDA. You can code, retrieve, comment and assign a weight to these segments in the same way as with other segments.
The mixed methods expert – integrate demographics
Use our qualitative analysis software and integrate quantitative methods or data into your project. Link qualitative data to demographic variables, quantify the results of qualitative analyses or calculate statistical frequencies.
The advanced version MAXQDA Plus additionally includes the add-on module MAXDictio, which adds quantitative text analysis functionality to MAXQDA, so you can easily analyze vocabulary or text content.
