Built in Tanzania · For research that matters
Mtafiti Analytics turns interview and focus-group audio into rigorous findings: transcription, Swahili to English translation, thematic analysis and valence, all in one private workspace.
No data is sent to third party data center, All data is processed within the country
The workflow
Every step is designed for real fieldwork: messy recordings, code-switching, and the standards a research report has to meet.
Upload interviews and focus groups. Mtafiti separates speakers, transcribes Swahili and English, and produces a faithful English translation, the foundation every downstream step is built on.
AI thematic analysis surfaces codes and groups them into themes, with every theme traceable to the exact quotes behind it. Review, compare and merge codes with full transparency.
Classify the emotional tone of each quote as positive, negative, neutral or mixed, always scored on the English translation, with a confidence signal and an at-a-glance summary across the whole study.
Every theme plotted by how it feels against how widespread it is. Frequent, negative themes rise to the top-left, your priority concerns, while bright spots and watch-list items sort themselves out at a glance.
Themes are ranked against your study objectives and classified by function: what obstructs your goals, what enables them, and which high-leverage issues deserve a closer look first.
Build interview guides and structured questionnaires, or import existing tools. Export straight to XLSForm, REDCap, KoboToolbox and ODK, ready for the field.
Capabilities
Everything from raw audio to a policy-ready report, purpose-built for health and social research.
Why Mtafiti
Swahili-first transcription and translation, tuned for code-switching and Tanzanian fieldwork, not an afterthought.
Runs on your own infrastructure when you need it to. Sensitive interviews never have to leave your control.
Thematic analysis, valence, questionnaires and longitudinal tracking in a single project-scoped workspace.
Pricing
Every study is different: the number of interviews, languages, deployment, and whether you want it hosted or fully on-premise. Tell us about your research and we'll put together a fair, transparent quote.
The company
Mtafiti Analytics is the product of ISS Company Limited, a Tanzanian technology company. We built Mtafiti to remove the biggest bottlenecks in rigorous research. It takes the hours lost to manual transcription, translation and coding and turns days of processing into a single guided workflow.
We build tools that respect the realities of field research in East Africa: local languages, limited bandwidth, sensitive data and the high bar of academic and policy work, so that more of your time goes to insight, not admin.
Research. Evidence. Impact. It's not just a tagline. It's the sequence we help you move through, faster.
A private research-analysis platform for qualitative and quantitative studies: transcription, translation, thematic analysis, valence, questionnaires and longitudinal tracking.
