Feature Set:  

VersaCheck includes an abundance of check design features plus the program offers helpful home bookkeeping and small business bookkeeping features. You can also send and receive checks via email.

Even if you never use VersaCheck’s bookkeeping features, this program is still worth the $99.00 price. You can completely personalize your checks by adding a background picture and a personal or business logo in full color. You can also customize the font style and color and the program is equipped with a MICR font that will print at the bottom of each check.

Some check writing software companies allege that printing the MICR line with magnetic toner is no longer necessary because of advances in new optical reading technology. However, based on our research, we feel it’s still important to print the MICR line with magnetic toner so we recommend printing the entire check with MICR (magnetic) toner. This will ensure that your checks are accepted by any financial institution and any additional costs are minimal compared to manual check processing or check rejection fees. For more information see What is MICR?

The home bookkeeping features from VersaCheck allow you to view or print reports that include information on cash flow, checking transactions and account balances. The program will also generate full color graphs of net worth, income and expenses.

For small businesses, you can view or print a balance sheet, inventory list, estimates and invoices, and sales reports by customer or project.


Ease of Use:  

VersaCheck has an attractive graphical user interface (GUI), a full menu toolbar and several icons to help you navigate the program. The layout makes it easy to explore on your own; although, a user manual is included with the program.

A wizard will walk you through account setup and check design. And as your customizing your checks, the program will remind you if you have left out any important check fields before moving on to the next design step.

Writing a check is very simple. A graphic of a check is shown on the computer screen with account information like your name and address and your bank’s name and address automatically entered in the proper fields. The pay to the order of, date, amount, memo and reference fields are left blank; simply click on each field and enter the desired text.

To make ordering check supplies easy, there is a direct link within VersaCheck to order MICR toner and check stock.


Ease of Installation/Setup:  

To use VersaCheck, you will need an IBM or Pentium II processor, 120 megabytes of hard disk space, 150 megabytes for the .NET framework and a minimum of 64 megabytes of RAM. The program is compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP. To print checks you will need an inkjet or laser printer, check stock and a MICR toner cartridge.

VersaCheck is easy to install but takes a little more time than other check writing programs because of all the graphics files included with the software. Allow an hour to two hours to complete a direct download or manual installation. If you order VersaCheck through the mail, an install wizard will walk you through the installation steps.


Help/Support:  

VersaCheck’s manufacturer, G7 Productivity has a FAQs section on their website and you can download a user’s guide or you can locate the guide in VersaCheck’s help menu where you can also search for specific help topics. Technical support can be reached by email from G7 Productivity’s website.


Summary:  

VersaCheck offers dozens of check templates and hundreds of photographs and graphics to help you personalize your checks. The program is extremely easy to use and installation is a breeze.
