What the study describes
The study explored how 31 adult learners experienced learning a sign language. To analyse one of the open-ended survey questions, the researcher used the free version of Evidano. The use of the AI tool is disclosed openly in the paper's analysis section.
It aligned with the researcher's own coding
When the researcher compared outputs, the AI analysis pointed to the same priority she had identified by hand.
It worked directly in Hungarian
The responses were not in English.
How Evidano fit the workflow
- 127 open-ended responses
Free-text answers, written in Hungarian.
- 2Analysed with Evidano
The free version of the tool processed the responses.
- 35 themes surfaced
A structured starting point for interpretation.
- 4Researcher reviewed and compared
She interpreted the output and weighed it against her own coding. The researcher kept interpretive control.
“The free version of the AI tool AILYZE proposed the following themes...”
“...similarly to the analysis carried out by the researchers, the AI analysis identified video materials as versatile learning aids.”
“The AI analysis tool successfully tackled comments in Hungarian.”
Line-by-line coding by hand. Non-English data adds translation steps. Themes built slowly across many passes.
AI-assisted draft themes in the data's own language, ready for the researcher to review, refine, and interpret.
Transcription and translation in 100+ languages. The study used it on Hungarian data.
AI-assisted thematic analysis using your own codebook or an AI-suggested one.
Clickable quotes, citations, and exportable insights keep findings auditable.
End-to-end encryption, no third-party data sharing, and data not used for AI training.

Evidano helped analyse interview transcripts in a peer-reviewed study, then was checked against manual coding.
