Well, how do I go about correcting it? You know of any other software for
measuring temp? And the chart again...
Attach a calibrated thermocouple to the same spot as the thermistor (kind of a b*tch if it's embedded inside the chip package!) and compare what the software says to what the calibrated hardware says. Do so over a known temperature range and you can calculate the conversion factor you need.
This is why the NIST keeps things like expensive calibrated weights, and why we've redefined the meter to be how far light travels in 1 / 299 792 458 of a second. Exactly. These are used to calibrate our more common measuring devices.

ANY software that measures the temperature is simply looking at the same hardware, so any difference between software is bogus.
