Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".

Those of you who have gone from DQS to another program, how has your line count been

Looking for line count program
I am looking for a line counting utility that can remove a certain number of lines per report based on a template. Is there any such thing on the market?
Thanks.
Word count program
I have an older model puter that is slowly going up and have word 97 count program on it. I am looking for something that is compatible with that - that also does all headers and footers - not just the header and footer on the first page that I can put on my new puter. I have checked in to SPellex and that is really slow counting. I also checked in to Abacus, which was fast and pretty accurate; it actually gave me a little more on a few of my reports as a trial run. ANyone have any ideas on this. Thanks for any help. 
mt stars line count program
I downloaded it--I don't see an option for lines with spaces...just characters?????
Just FYI, you should compare line count with another program (sm)
FlashCount gave me a much lower line count when I compared it to Abacus. I notified them about this and they never responded.
You need to know the program your company is using to count so you can compare.

You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
Get yourself a good tax program. sm
I use Turbo Tax Home and Business. Helps with all the deducts and also helps you with quarterly taxes the next year. I've been using it for about 6 years and love it.
It's a really good program. I use Shorthand with it.
Instant Text also works
good Spyware program
Ewido: http://www.ewido.net/en/
My husband learned about this from one of his college professors. We both tried it and discovered that it found stuff on our systems that other Spyware programs such as Spy Sweeper and Spy Blaster missed.
WW is a good sound program (sm)
that nearly anyone can follow because it involves "real food" and no restrictions. I don't know about you, but when I'm told I can only eat this or that and not to eat this or that, that's when I start to fail at a "diet."
I see someone else suggested Atkins, and from what I've seen of a lot of people on that, usually it's not a lifestyle choice. They lose weight but if they change their eating habits, pounds come back with a few friends. South Beach, from what I understand, is also along the way of Atkins but they do promote good carbs, I'm guessing whole wheat/grains as opposed to simple sugar grains.
If you are currently not overdoing it on calories and following a fairly healthy diet, I would suggest upping the amount of time you walk, plus making sure you are getting in plenty of water. I walk 5 miles per day, takes 60 minutes, and in my weight loss phase, I lost on average 2 pounds per week. Sometimes 2-1/2, but averaged per month about 8-10 pounds. Do you have an extra 30 minutes to add to your walking regimen? Also, I did light toning, which also helps burn more calories, even at rest.
I don't know what your budget is like, but you could probably drop that extra 20 simply by walking more.
If it's using Escription, I would go for it. Very good program. nm

Need help finding a good expander program
I work on DocQscribe and I use Instant Text. Does anybody out there work on a different shorthand program that is compatible with DocQscribe? Instant Text is okay but I am wondering if there is another program I would like more.
new at this... how do I choose a good expander program?
Which is best Expander program? anyway to get a free trial to check out how these things work?
I don't mind paying for a good program. ;) nm

can you suggest a good software program
to compare with the line counts being given by the hospital? I am also in the same boat, but I can access my line count. I would like an independent way of counting my lines, because you never know, right? What a world.
yes AdAware is good, so is that cleaner program
but just to be wary about others that offer free antivirus and then latch onto your system so you will buy it...

Does anyone know of a good, but cheap spell check program? sm
Just did an upgrade to XP and have lost my "free" Spellex that I got with my schooling on my old computer. I have a new job but cant afford to buy the Spellex program yet. Any good ones that do both medical and drug names that is CHEAP? I plan to buy the spellex again when I get a few paychecks, but for now I need something. It is getting really tiring looking up so many drug names! 
Andrews has a coding program, & its reputation is as good as their MT course.

Value of SUM program...What would you pay???>>>
I asked this on the equipment board, but I think maybe I'll get a better response here, so I hope its okay to post it here, too.
Does anyone know what the SUM CDs are worth? There are some on ebay. The beginning one is 2005, and usually they are the older ones on ebay. I looked on the HPI website, but they come with books and are VERY expensive.
Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what they are worth without any extra books? I want to bid on them, but don't know how much. They are at $9.99 each now. There is a beginning one, an advanced one and a surgery one. Shoot. I want them, but don't want to pay too much, you know?
Thanks for any input. 
SUM Program
First, realize if you are able to study independently. The SUM cd's that are on ebay now are the new 2005 editions. You will be able to find the additional books you need on eBay over a few weeks. My advice to you is 1) go to the HPI/SUM website and print out the Student Syllabus and assignments for beginning and surgical (this will give you all of your assignments and a list of what supplies you will need, 2) email the eBay seller and make sure she is including the password codes to "unlock" the cds (Without these, they are useless to you.), then bid what they are worth to you. I have seen them go from $10 to well over $100. I sold a one myself (and not the new edition) for $125. Since I now have everything I need, I will pass on a little hint for buying cheap on eBay. Look for the packages, purchase them, take out what you need, then relist the rest. I now have a second computer (used but fine), desk (nice and new), all the reference books needed for the SUM Program, every Stedman's book that I could ever want (the latest editions), flash cards from Career Step (which come in handy), the extra AAMT cd's that M-Tec uses along with macros and every possible item I could ever want. In the end, not only did it cost me nothing, but I actually came out ahead in the end.
So, if you have the time, this is an excellent way to purchase training materials. Good luck and happy shopping.
DQS program
Hello out there - Starting position who has DQS program.
I find it to be very poor. (In fact those who know the Meditech program - I prefer Meditech over DQS anyday)
I have a lot of issues with the program; however, will just ask two questions, please. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
1. Does anyone have advice as to the quality of dictation. I am not referring to the physicians quality, but the inability of the DQS program to have more than 4 selections for speed, which are terrible.
Is it me or is this par for the program? 1-2 speed hash marks are draggy, 3-4 is distorted. There is not a happy medium for clear dictation but at a rate you can type quickly and accurately.
2. Also minutes - never measured my work in minutes how many minutes a day approximately to produce 1500 lines a day ??
35+ years transcription experience - this is the worst program ever. Hey that is just my opinion, I could be wrong (5000 lb gorilla).
DQS program
Thank you so much for your information. You have hit the nail right on the head.
I too did the same as you. It seems almost impossible to get more than 700 lines. I am so confused as I usually average 200+ lines/hour on all other typing plateforms I have ever used. (Even Meditech)
Your reponse has really helped realize the program frustration is not completely my fault.
THANK YOU - God Bless

Top gray keys - press left key (program), press again and it will say keys, choose which black button you want for the headset and press it, type #*11, hit the select (X) key, hit the black button you chose again and the hit the top right gray key (no). If you hit the black button you chose, it should light up, indicating the headset is working.
See Clearly Program. Has anyone every tried this?
If so, did it work?
I believe you would need a program also.
I don't know of any free ones that could be used with a pedal but I certainly could be wrong. Some companies have you test within their platform and it might work there. Good luck!
? on sum program
Sorry not sure which board to put this ? on but I have sum program with 12 tapes side a and b, machine and answer key and have no idea of what kind of a price to put on this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
don't know what program UR using but I NEVER
My reports, especially with ESL, come in better than they (the ESL dictators) can actually dictate. I have to do editing, sure, but it's mostly punctuation, or wrong word(s), setting up paragraphs, doing some headings - it's very rapid for me (used to edit in a previous setting but not medical) but, yes, it is less $, so you work smarter, not harder, in this biz.... I'm much faster on VR than straight transcribing and wish I had more VR.....
is that the program that is - sm

is it easy to download? have you had a problem with it like the other post? thank you so much!
In what program?

You don't say what the program is.
Line counts can vary for several reasons and it's not fair for you to blame MS Word or the line-counting program for the discrepancy.
You need to check with the MTSO about the EXACT settings they're using. For example, are you counting for formatting such as Bold or Caps? Maybe they're not. Are you counting for tabs and they're not? Headers/Footers? There are any number of reasons for the difference so until you check with the appropriate source (the MTSO) about their settings, you won't know.
