What is QDAS (Qualitative Data Analysis Software)?

Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) helps researchers systematically analyze non-numerical data like interview transcripts, field notes, documents, and multimedia. These tools support coding, memo writing, visualization, and theory building.

Traditional QDAS tools like NVivo, ATLAS.ti, and MAXQDA have been the standard for decades. However, they often require expensive licenses, desktop installations, and lack modern features like AI-powered analysis and real-time collaboration.

FableSense AI represents a new generation of QDAS that combines the rigor of traditional qualitative analysis with modern cloud-based collaboration and AI-powered insights — all at a fraction of the cost.
