Line counts - an accurate line counter? - sm
Posted: Aug 14, 2012
I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of an accurate line counter. I currently use Word, but am not sure if it's accurate.
There are several available - it depends on what features you want

Google line count programs and read the specs 'til you find one that will do what you want. Some of them are free.
I'm currently using Sylcount but there is also Practicount and Convergexe that I tried sm - WPAMT

I have to say, I have trialed all of these and got 3 different invoice amounts - they all have trial periods I believe before you have to pay for one you like...I have also provided a link to a pretty simple program below - good luck!

Line Counts Accurate? Sep 14, 2013Over the last 2 pay periods, I have noticed my line counts not being as high as usual. I have not changed anything and Im still doing the same hospitals. I wonder did they stop paying for canned dictation? That would not be right, sometimes that takes longer than just editing or typing because the doctor wants to change this, put in that, remove this.

Nuance Line Counts Are Accurate? Apr 05, 2014Nuance gives me my line counts and they are loaded onto WebClock. I have no idea what reports they are counting.

So if I kept a log of daily reports I could compare to the total of reports that the company was counting. With Nuance there is no way to know what reports they are counting. I am on Dictaphone ...

Webmedx Line Counter Oct 10, 2011This might need to be on the tech board, but I have a question on the WBX line counts, I just started here. I am assuming that the number up on the right hand upper corner in black that changes is your line count? When I do a VR job, I get a negative line count? What the heck is that? Maybe I am understanding wrong and hoped someone could help me out. I have typed several jobs and done maybe 5 VR jobs this shift and I have a line count of 43??? WWWAAAHHHH.

Can You Recommend An Accurate Line Counting Program For Gross Lines? Mar 10, 2010I have been using MPCount for several years but recently upgraded to a new laptop & it will not work on it - incompatible. I tried out their new trial version of MPTools but it does not count my gross lines the same & I would be losing more $ than I would like with it. There is something programmed into the newer version that counts differently somehow. (That was even confirmed with the person who produced this program.) Are there any other line counting software programs out t ...
OSI Line Counts.. Aug 05, 2010I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what OSI cuts out of their line counts? Seeing as they use a remote website for line counts, it is pretty obvious they cut corners with what MTs get paid on. I was just wondering WHAT are the cutting? Do they only pay 1 space? Do they not pay if you copy and paste? Do they only pay on a % per page - meaning if you have little on 1 page you aren't going to get any credit for those lines, etc? Just curio ...

Line Counts And ESL Nov 12, 2011I know this has been discussed before, but what is up with these line counts? I used to have no problem doing 200+ lph. Now, I work at the same pace on an account with less ESL speakers and I struggle to get my required 150 lph.
I won't even comment on the fact that my straight typing has dwindled away to maybe 10 lines a day...on a good day.
Thanks for listening...this is just all so very frustrating. I try to keep a positive attitude and be very diligent about my work and ...

What Could Be The Reason For Odd Line Counts? May 12, 2010According to the Escript, I'm doing an average of 300 lph on VR but usually at the end of 8 hours, I don't top 1100 liines most days.
On Dictaphone's ExSpeech, i used to consistently do 1800-2400 a day on a combination.
I have noticed with EScript that 1 day a week, my lines will hit 1200-1300, and I even hit 1500 one day, yet the lph were still 300.
It doesn't make sense. No, I do not take breaks. Half the time I don't stop ...
