Check Writer III Plus is a desktop application for creating and printing checks with MICR characters for banking use. It allows entry of payment details such as payee names and amounts, automatically converting numerical values into words. The software supports various paper formats, including standard letter-size sheets and specialized refill stock.

Check Writer III Plus provides tools for account management, transaction recording, and report generation. You can customize check designs with personal graphics, adjust layouts, and add stored signatures. Data is stored locally on the device, and the program offers reconciliation features to match transaction records with bank statements.

Check Writer III Plus includes automated number-to-words conversion for check amounts, printing with MICR encoding for bank processing, and support for multiple paper types. Its account management module tracks transactions, calculates balances, and lets you add signatures and customize check designs. It can also generate various reports, such as expense summaries and tax reports. A reconciliation feature lets you compare your records with bank statements to ensure productivity.

Its interface organizes functions like check creation, account registers, reconciliation, and reporting into distinct sections, all accessible via menus and toolbar icons. Check creation is done in a dedicated form where you enter payee, amount, and memo details. Registered shows transactions in a table. Reports can be generated from a separate panel with date and account filters. However, it lacks integrated online banking.

Entering payment data auto-generates the amount in words, updating the check preview. Selecting the print function applies MICR encoding to the check bottom line and formats the document according to the chosen paper type. Recording a transaction updates the account register and recalculates the displayed balance in real time. Generated reports pull data directly from the account register, compiling them into printable or exportable files without manual data re-entry.
