[Electronics-talk] check writing software?

[evelyn weckerly]

Hi, Mike and all,

I agree with you here.  I don't want to do online banking, and I 
send only about three to four checks a month most of the time.  
The rest is either automatic withdraw from an account or sent to 
a credit card account.  I prefer not to take a chance of a 
screw-up of some kind.

Evelyn

Agreed.  I use Money Talks although I don't print checks using 
it.  But many
have had success.

I realize what I shall say next will be unpopular.  However, 
given that
writing physical checks is, although still very necessary, done 
much less
often than, say, twenty years ago, it seems to me that the 
simplest solution
is to use an amanuensis, that is, a human scribe.

MoneyTalks from the American Printing House for the Blind can be 
configured
to print on a personal check.  As is the case with any solution, 
you will
need to spend some time getting it calibrated with your checks 
and your
printer.  You will also need a printer that can accurately feed 
and print on
a check.  You will probably have to sacrifice a few checks during 
the
calibration process.  I have an HP laser printer and a Dell 
printer that do
pretty well with checks, even the regular sized personal checks 
that I use.
Some say that you should use a laser printer rather than an ink 
jet printer
because the printing is more permanent, but I don't know whether 
that is a
concern or not.  Some printers will handle the larger checks all 
right even
if they can't handle the normal personal checks.  You'll need to 
be sure of
your printer's capabilities.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I've heard such a thing exists.  How well does it work? How much 
does it
cost? I'm looking at this for when paying via credit card isn't 
an option.
