Longtime Mac software developer MacSpeech presented the first of its Macworld Expo goodies via the release of MacSpeech Scribe (which also arrives in both Legal and Medical editions) as well as introducing its Dictate iPhone extension app. According to the cool cats at the Mac Observer, Scribe produces a transcript from a spoken-word audio file in the .wav, .aif, .aiff, .m4v, mp4, or .m4a formats.
Like MacSpeech Dictate, Scribe requires the user to create an individual speech profile by training the software to recognize their voice. Scribe recognizes 13 different English dialects and supports up to six speech profiles. If the user wants to ensure punctuation is included in the final transcript, they’ll need to speak it while creating their spoken-word audio file.
The Legal and Medical versions of Scribe are like their MacSpeech Dictate cousins in that they support over 30,000 legal words and terms and more than 54 medical and dental disciplines and specialties, respectively. Scribe Legal and Scribe Medical are available for US$99 to registered users of the respective MacSpeech Dictate versions and are only available as digital downloads from the MacSpeech web site.
In addition to Scribe, MacSpeech is showing a sneak peek of its upcoming via Dictate iPhone extension app, which functions as a remote extension of MacSpeech Dictate. The app will be free when it’s released. A date was not made available.
Scribe is available now to Macworld attendees and MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 users for US$99. The application generally retails for US$149 and requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later to install and run.
