    What is QualCoder?

    A very complete free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) written in Python. It works with text, images, and multimedia as audios and videos.
    It prepares a matrix for qualitative comparison and offers a network view of the coding and categories.

    It has been developed on Ubuntu and works on Debian-based and other Linux distros (Fedora, Arch). Works on Microsoft Windows 10. It has been used on MacOS. "Further testing on different operating systems is required". So help is welcome.

    Nice to see this open-source alternative to commercial QDA applications. It functions fairly well for basic projects. It is developing quickly and in a few years could be a very serious tool for qualitative analysis. Let's hope that more people get involved and support the development of QualCoder.

    Currently the open source qualitative data analysis software that is most easy to use. Still, the interface is a bit cumbersome. Watch a demo on youtube or have a look at the manual to get started.

    The software can also annotate images, which can be very useful.
