[edit] Description

Its purpose is to help researchers uncover and systematically analyze complex phenomena hidden in text and multimedia data. The program provides tools that let the user locate, code, and annotate findings in primary data material, to weigh and evaluate their importance, and to visualize complex relations between them.


ATLAS.ti consolidates large volumes of documents and keeps track of all notes, annotations, codes and memos in all fields that require close study and analysis of primary material consisting of text, images, audio, or video data. In addition, it provides analytical and visualization tools designed to open new interpretative views on the material.


First published in 1993, ATLAS.ti has pioneered numerous features that have either become de-facto standard of QDA software or continue to serve as benchmark for all software of its specific genre.
