Sylcount Line Counting Software - anyone else with same problem?

I have recently upgraded to a new computer system. I have always used Sylcount Gold for my line counting and invoicing program. Problem is, Sylvan Software company is now out of business so I have now lost that software.

Any recommendations are appreciated, or, if anyone has Sylcount for sale.....I would be interested! Thank you! ...

Have any of you ever used software that counts lines produced? If so, can it be used with DocQScribe? And would it be able to count ASR? If you have any software names, can you provide them?

I am looking for software that is a free download to create an invoice from a completed document…like MP Count, which is no longer free. Does anyone know where I can find one?

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.

Thanks for any help you can offer. ...

Mistake of working for friend doing subcontracting. I am paid 13 cpl but very hard to hear doctor; it's on tape, takes forever to type. Main issue is that she says I should use Wordperfect's line count, but when I recently compared it to my line counter, Practicount, there is a difference - not huge but enough that it's bothering me. Question is does anyone know if Wordperfect's line counting is correct and includes spaces? TIA. ...

I've been a transcriptionist for 15 years now and just the last year working at home being paid by line. My new boss thinks I'm screwing them over with my lines and wants to discuss with me next week about how I shouldn't be getting paid for certain documents. So my question is this. Some of the doctors when doing a discharge summary for example will have me take the admission h&p and then add the discharge onto the end of it. I will probably ...

Anyone noticing differences in the counts of these 2 programs that TT has? First the MT monitor WAS giving better counts than Ichart. Now after months it is reverse. I get the feeling that it is being reprogrammed so we get shortchanged--as usual. Years ago working for a small company we had an account that gave you 5 lines for the demographics and the hidden footer was 1 line. Then the big company came along, TS from Georgia, and THEIR program conde ...

Does anyone have any knowledge of what this qasar dep line counting means? the technology part of the email states something to the fact that it replaces the old line counting method. geez, i cannot keep up with their terminology and then to boot they send it out on friday afternoon when they know there is no chance we could get a hold of a ccm. I have a funny feeling they are going to subtract whatever errors we have with or without an audit from our paycheck because ...

You are misinformed. DocQScribe is an excellent format to work on BUT it counts in a way that will shock you. AND can change from day to day, minute to minute. The program that is used to control it is called DocQMANAGE. In DocQManage are things you will not believe. You might have access to PART of DocQManage, but not ALL OF IT. They assign a divisor which can mean that you are TOLD that you are paid on a 65 character line, but will not be. There are so many options in there for l ...

My job is transitioning to from straight transcription to speech recognition. This is what is being offered: 0.045 per line A line is defined as 2 edited lines = 1 regular MT typing line of 65 characters So in summary, 1. My cents per line is going to be cut in half going to SR editing. 2. The edited lines is also being cut in half because it takes 2 edited lines to equal 1 transcribed line. Does this sound right? Are all companies counting lines this way? If ...

http://www.executivehm.com/article/Transcription-in-the-21st-century/ This article (above link) has quotes from present COO of Wedmedx who is President of MTIA and used to be former Spheris boss. This article explains how the MTSOs want our lines counted. It explains how they want to take away all keystrokes that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Won't this effectively save the hospitals and MTSOs from paying MTs for up to 1/3 of the keystrokes w ...

I 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 ...
