Survey data collection for Arabic-first research teams.

One platform for online surveys and ODK field collection. It uses open standards, keeps privacy settings explicit, and was built in Arabic from the first screen rather than translated into it later.

Request beta access See how it works

Free during the open beta. We do not ask for a card, and you can stop whenever you like.

0% re-identification rate

Anonymous means anonymous

In anonymous mode, Miqyas does not store a name, device ID, or session ID with a response. The stored record has no link to an identity table.

EU never leaves your organization’s region

Your data stays in its region

Your organization chooses its legal region once. Every survey inherits it, and the region becomes fixed when the first response arrives. Each region is stored and processed separately from the others, and is technically unreachable from them. The EU region runs in Frankfurt, Germany, and is the one open today. We open others as research teams need them.

1,100+ interface text, fully bilingual

Arabic from the start

Arabic is part of the product from the first screen onward. English is maintained alongside it, not added later as an afterthought.

100% in Arabic, including the buttons

A smoother start for respondents

Participants open a link and begin without creating an account or installing an app. Buttons, upload prompts, and error messages appear in Arabic alongside the survey questions. If a submission fails, their answers stay on the device so they can try again.

ODK open formats you can take with you

Field research with ODK Collect

Miqyas works with ODK and XLSForm. Import existing forms and send field teams out with ODK Collect for offline collection and later synchronization.

Geo points, traces, and polygons

Built for field conditions

Collect GPS points, traces, and polygons alongside photos, audio, video, and signatures. Skip logic and calculated fields run in the form, so the collector can fix problems in the field.

3 automatic quality checks

Review quality at a glance

Each submission is scored for completeness, fill-time plausibility, and straight-lining. Your team can triage large batches before opening individual responses.

6 chart types, zero SQL

Build charts without SQL

Choose a question or a combination of questions, then build a pie, bar, line, scatter, heatmap, or single-number chart. Filter, group, and export the result yourself.

MCP connect Claude or ChatGPT to your own data

Ask questions in plain language

Connect the assistant your team already uses and ask questions as you would ask a colleague. It receives aggregates computed by Miqyas within your existing access. It never receives individual responses or coordinates, and every access is recorded.

3 role levels, enforced everywhere

Roles for the whole team

Organizations have owner, admin, and member roles with permissions enforced throughout the product. You can add a research assistant without giving them the ability to delete a study.

How quality scoring works

Every submission is scored against three independent measures. Together they show whether a response is complete, plausible in duration, and varied enough to merit a closer look.

Completeness

Duration

Variance

Completeness

Why it matters: Flags submissions that are only partly answered or abandoned.

Most useful for: Useful for long surveys where respondents or enumerators may skip questions.

Duration

Why it matters: Flags responses that are unusually fast or slow compared with the form baseline.

Most useful for: Useful when the form has a meaningful expected completion time.

Variance

Why it matters: Detects repeated answers across a block of related questions.

Most useful for: Useful for rating grids and agreement batteries.

Choose the weights for your study, preview the effect on real submissions, and re-score your history in the background when you change them.

How it works

Design

Upload an XLSForm or update one you already use with ODK. Add media, translate it, and prepare a new version without interrupting a live survey.

Distribute

Create a public link for each site, wave, or partner. Set its language, branding, and limits independently.

Review

Submissions arrive automatically and receive a quality score. Filter them, comment on them, or chart them as soon as they land.

Visualize

Build dashboards from the responses with any question and chart type. Export the full dataset or only the slice needed for a report.

Coming next

Automated report generation

The dashboard already turns your data into charts. A one-click narrative report is the next step.

Published pricing

We are working on a clear pricing model without surprise fees. Teams who join during the beta will hear the terms from us before anything changes.

A tool for the work behind the research

Miqyas is an early-stage startup based in Germany and is currently in open beta. We are testing the product with research teams and keeping the basics visible: what we collect, where we store it, and why.
