queXC

queXC cleans and codes qualitative and other textual data (such as data collected from a questionnaire). Multiple operators can work on a single data file using only a web browser. Coding schemes can be imported or created on the fly.

queXC takes a data file (such as data collected from a questionnaire) and cleans the text input fields (qualitative data or other textual data) by spacing them and spell checking them. queXC then allows operators to code the text to existing coding schemes, or to create a coding scheme on the fly. Multiple operators can code and clean simultaneously, including the ability to assign operators to do particular codes. The queXC system includes some coding schemes created from ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) data.

queXC can be used for to create hierarchical codings schemes for textual data, therefore in some instances can be used as an Open Source alternative to Nvivo.

• Import DDI and Fixed Width or CSV data files
• Export DDI and Fixed Width, CSV or PSPP/SPSS data files
• Multiple operators can code the same responses for comparison later
• Option to automatically assign codes on exact match to code label or value
• Can import a data file in parts based on an id column
• Web based - only a browser required to operate
• Create hierarchical coding schemes on the fly
• Export/Import/Share coding schemes
• Example coding schemes available
• Entirely Open Source (requires only Open Source programs to operate)

What is new in this release:

• Spell checking using the PHP pspell module has been reinstated, and some other minor bugs have been corrected.
• Columns generated from coding now have a label based on the name of the coding scheme by default.

What is new in version 0.9.3:

• Viewing on Internet Explorer works well now, php-gettext has been upgraded for translations, and text coding to multiple groups with multiple operators functions correctly.
• Translations have also been updated.

What is new in version 0.9.1:

• New features: Complete Italian translation by Diego Donati All strings translatable Can export to CSV file with code labels instead of code values Start of Lithuanian translation by Zimi Start of Spanish translation by DiegoJ
• Bug fixes: When a new code is added, the column widths are adjusted Fixed width file generation did not include gaps where required Data was not exported from selected file Column ordering was not consistent CSV file export did not work with quotation marks
