Recommendation for Line Count Software - Shasta


Posted: Jun 15, 2012

I've searched on MTStars high and low already and only get posts that are so old the links no longer work or the product is no longer available.

My question is can someone recommend an inexpensive (under $50) Line Counting Software that counts headers/footers?  And could you please include a link so I can find this software?  It does not even have to gin up an invoice but just counts lines (including headers/footers).

 Many thanks.

Maybe This..? - Edie

Ever used TexTally? Free from the ExpressScribe folks.

Doesn't look like TexTally counts headers though. nm - Shasta

Thanks, Shasta. I have it, just never used it--so I guess I missed that. Where did you see it?

Check out "PRACTICOUNT" -- it counts everything! - mt13

Bought this for myself 6-7 years ago, have used it every week since invoicing my clients. It's superb and worth every penny. I'm really an MT, not affiliated with this company. There's a 15 day trial. It works just great--I couldn't be without it.

Don't want to spend $60 when I don't invoice. Just for my own info on my lines. Thx tho. - Shasta

I've used Sylcount Gold (hated it) and a couple of others and still think Practicount is the absolute best. Too bad no one's ever heard of it.

Line Count Program Recommendation
Nov 09, 2011

Can anybody recommend a reliable line count program that will count in the Word 2010 program?  I used to use Abacus which you could access directly in Word if you inserted a shortcut to it.  This way I could finish a document, count it, then close it with a password.  Abacus apparently doesn't work in Word 2010 and I've been experimenting wtih other counting programs but haven't found one that is as easy to use ... everything so far seems to require many more steps.  I use a g ...
