Qualitative research

Reviewed

Interview data that stays connected to the conversation.

SixSentences_ supports uploaded interview recordings and AI-led sessions, then keeps transcripts, codes, themes, memos and verified quotes in one study workspace.

SixSentences_ qualitative interview workspace with study sessions, transcript analysis and research memos

In plain terms

Qualitative interview analysis interprets participant accounts through a documented process of transcription, coding, comparison and theme development.

Bring recordings or host a session

Upload an interview or invite a participant to a disclosed, consent-aware AI-led conversation.

Trace findings to words

Speaker-attributed transcripts keep codes, themes and saved quotes anchored to the original passage.

Compare across sessions

Develop a codebook, inspect supporting and conflicting evidence and carry findings into the wider project.

A documented workflow

From intent to inspectable output.

  1. 01

    Prepare the study

    Define the purpose, guide, participant information, consent language and data-retention choices.

  2. 02

    Collect conversations

    Upload existing recordings or share a protected interview link for an AI-led session.

  3. 03

    Analyse transparently

    Review the transcript, code passages, compare sessions and record analytic memos.

  4. 04

    Use verified findings

    Move selected quotes and themes into claims or the manuscript with their transcript context intact.

Method and boundaries

Consent and disclosure are part of the method

An AI-led interview should not obscure who is conducting the session or how the data will be used. Study setup therefore includes participant-facing context and consent before the conversation begins.

Researchers remain responsible for ethics approval, lawful processing, appropriate consent and retention. The workspace helps make those decisions visible and consistent across invitations and sessions.

  • Interview guide and participant briefing
  • Protected invitation links
  • Speaker-attributed transcripts
  • Codebook, themes, memos and passage-level evidence

Analysis without losing the transcript

Themes are easier to trust when they can be challenged against the underlying material. SixSentences_ keeps each saved quote attached to its transcript passage and supports comparison across participants rather than producing an untraceable summary.

The agent can suggest follow-up questions, codes or tensions. These are analytic prompts for the researcher, not a replacement for methodological judgement or reflexivity.

Questions, answered.

Can I analyse interviews collected elsewhere?
Yes. Existing recordings can be uploaded and transcribed before coding and theme development.
Are AI-led interviews disclosed to participants?
The participant flow is designed to present study context and consent before a session. Researchers must configure this information for their study.
Can I verify a quote?
Quotes remain linked to the relevant transcript passage so wording and surrounding context can be checked.
