ChecksQuick^TM 3.1 (released January 2005)

New for Version 3.1: Additional preferences for setting the date format and translating the numerical amount into words. For center-feeding printers, users can now make large adjustments to the left or right to compensate for how some of these printers print in Landscape orientation.

Have lots of checks to write out? Stop getting writter's cramp! Write out all of your checks with just a few mouse clicks using checks that you tear out of your checkbook!

Enter the names, amounts and account numbers for all of your recurring bills into ChecksQuick just once. When it is time to pay some bills, just select the ones you need, put the checks into your printer, and click "Print." ChecksQuick keeps a running total of the number of checks that you will need, and the total amount that you are paying.

The only thing that you will need to adjust from month-to-month is the amount for your variable bills, such as gas, electric and telephone. However, you only need to adjust the numerical amount. ChecksQuick automatically translates the numerical amount into words! ChecksQuick also automatically fills in the current date on all checks, unless you choose to use a custom date. You can also import a scan of your signature, so that all of your checks come out already signed. No more accidently sending out an unsigned check!

If you are a contractor with a large crew to pay, ChecksQuick can also be used to write out your crew's paychecks!

Export and import features are available to registered users to create or use tab-delimited text files in conjunction with spreadsheets or accounting programs. Has a field for entering expense categories.

ChecksQuick 3.1 requires a PowerPC Mac with System 9.x.x or OS X, or a PC with Windows 95 or higher. Also requires a printer that can feed paper the size of your checks (see instructions for more info).

Shareware: $15. May be registered worldwide through the Kagi payment service
