Data Types
Dedoose can help you analyze nearly any type of data from documents, survey data, video, audio, images, PDFs, other projects, and more. Current supported file formats are listed here. If you have not already done so, please review the Data Preparation tips for your specific data under the "Terminology and Data Preparation" section of the Learning Center.
