Abacus Line Counter - Cathy


Posted: Feb 09, 2015

I had a computer crash and lost my Abacus line counting program (among other things!).  They obviously are no longer in business as I have tried repeatedly to contact them. Does anyone have the Abacus30.zip file they would be willing to send me?  Any help is very much appreciated.

Any recommendations on a different line counting program?

ABASCUS LINE COUNTING PROGRAM - KAH

I saw ad for this program yesterday and plan on buying it. Try finding them on the internet. It sounds like the best one for my needs, so hope they aren't gone like so many good ones.

I have an abacus execute file but - IMANMT2

it's an older version and not fully activated so you can only count 5 files at a time. but the other functions work.

It's a sweet line-counting software. I don't think anything compares to it, especially that weird one by NCH. don't care for their Express Scribe, either. It was okay when it was free but wouldn't pay for it.

Don't save to your desktop if you need it. - IMANMT2

if your comp crashes the desktop info disappears. Some techie guys have a recovery software they sell they say will retrieve info from a burnt hard drive and can access the desktop info but I'd have to see it to believe it.

I've used Abacus Line-Counting software for at least ten or 12 years.  I had to upgrade to a new computer, and I can't find the site to upgrade.  Does anyone know if the company has gone out of business or how to contact them?  If so, is there another line-counting software as good as Abacus?  (I'm now using Windows 7 and Word 2010.)  Thanks for any help you can offer. ...

Does anyone know of a good simple line counter software program that will count lines (even if only one or two words on the line), plus headers and footers.  I do not need all the invoicing stuff and all that.

Keystroke Counter? (sm)
Sep 08, 2013

VR drafts have BECOME so far off what was clearly dictated that it is taking LONGER to edit than it would to just transcribe it.  Not only do I have to re-transcribe it, but delete full sentences and phrase that sound nothing like what was clearly dictated!  As MTs we used to be paid for our keystrokes which was fair.  Today we probably put in twice the keystrokes we are paid for.  Anyone know of a cheap keystroke counter as I think this would be very useful in a suit again ...

VR Line Count - What Kind Of Line Production Should I Shoot For
Mar 24, 2011

I was just hired on with a company to do strictly VR. I am only going to be working part time so about 4 hours a day. I am wondering from those who do VR what kind of line production should I shoot for in 4 hours of work? What is the normal VR line count for part time? I have read that most who are working full time or 8 hours a day are doing more than 1,000, even 2,000 a day. The company I will be working for wants a minimum of 10,000 lines in a payperiod which the lady said even with part time ...
