ReliCheck Quala
Your interviews never leave your Mac.
Native Mac software for qualitative research: transcribe interviews on your own machine, code and theme with a real audit trail, and hand your strand to the rest of the ReliCheck ecosystem.
Apple Silicon · macOS 14 or later · notarized by Apple · v1.1.0 · subscription required after a 30-day trial
Drop in an interview video. Quala extracts the audio and transcribes it on your Mac, with observations, media memos, and the transcript side by side. The video never leaves the machine.
First Read frames the study before coding starts: corpus at a glance, research question, methodology, and a first-impressions memo so themes stay anchored to the study.
Transcription that stays home
Drop in audio or video and Quala transcribes it with Apple's on-device speech recognition. Nothing is uploaded. For IRB-restricted and clinical work, "all audio and transcripts stored locally" is simply true.
Trustworthiness built in
Reflexivity, limitations, negative cases, and member checks are first-class, and every coding action lands in an append-only audit trail. Your methods section writes itself from evidence, not memory.
Code, theme, quote
Import interviews from audio, video, Word, PDF, or a spreadsheet of open-ended responses. Highlight, code, group codes into themes, and pin the quotes you will actually use. What it does →
One click to mixed methods
Send your coded qual strand to ReliCheck MM Studio for integration with your quantitative data, or export a presentation packet for the iPad. No re-entry, no lost coding.
Suggestions, never auto-coding
ReliCheck Intelligence can suggest codes from your own codebook, on your own machine. It never applies anything by itself. You are the researcher; the software keeps the receipts.
