I haven't tried it myself, but there seems to be a trial version you can play around with to figure out if it's any use for you. (Unfortunately, the site's a bit underinformative on pricing, other than the institutional license subscription. As you said, Dedoose is for multimethod data, but it's actually pretty cheap for individual subscription and also has a one month free trial.)</font></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="margin-top: 0.1em; margin-bottom: 0.1em;" class=""><font size="3" class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></font></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="margin-top: 0.1em; margin-bottom: 0.1em;" class=""><font size="3" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_12764" class="" style="">I usually use <a href="http://www.qsrinternational.com/products_nvivo-mac.aspx" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_13017" class="" style="">NVivo</a>, which can do a fair amount with text (although it's also designed for audio and visual data and cross-coding of the kind of categories that don't interest you, so a lot of its features might be redundant for your purposes).</font></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="margin-top: 0.1em; margin-bottom: 0.1em;" class=""><font size="3" class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></font></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="margin-top: 0.1em; margin-bottom: 0.1em;" class=""><font size="3" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_13137" class="" style="">Hope that's of some help, </font></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="margin-top: 0.1em; margin-bottom: 0.1em;" class=""><font size="3" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_13399" class="" style="">Marion</font></div></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="font-size: 10px;"><font size="3"><br clear="none"></font></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8741" style="font-size: 10px;"><font size="3"><br clear="none"></font></div><div id="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8734"><font color="#0000bf" size="1"></font><br clear="none"><font size="3">**********</font></div><font size="3">Marion Nao, PhD<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Connect with me on <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_11408" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/EarlyResearcher" style="color: rgb(76, 118, 162);">Twitter</a> and <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8752" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/marion-nao/37/b75/582" style="color: rgb(76, 118, 162);">LinkedIn</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></font><div class="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8785" id="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8753" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><font size="3">About my <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.consultingnao.com/" style="color:rgb(76, 118, 162);">consultancy</a><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 127);"> </span>in communication research </font></div><font size="3">About my <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.earlyresearcher.com/" style="color: rgb(76, 118, 162);">coaching and mentoring</a> for early researchers </font><div class="yiv4702289677qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1411648357511_7404" style="font-size: 10px;"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv4702289677yqt8875317672" id="yiv4702289677yqt81568" style="font-size: 10px;"><div class="yiv4702289677yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div class="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8789" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;font-size:10px;"> <div class="yiv4702289677yui_3_16_0_1_1411646062998_8790" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;font-size:12px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Thursday, 25 September 2014, 11:05, Catharina Müller <catharina.muller@UDC.ES> wrote:<br clear="none"> </font> </div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv4702289677y_msg_container"><div id="yiv4702289677"><div>- apologies for cross-posting -<div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Hi everybody,</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>I am looking for a computer assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) programme for Mac.
