MacSpeech, a speech recognition vendor for the Macintosh platform, has released MacSpeech Scribe Medical, a personal transcription add-on, at the Macworld Conference and Expo 2010 in San Francisco.

MacSpeech Scribe Medical is an add-on for the company's MacSpeech Dictation Medical speech recognition software. MacSpeech Scribe Medical requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and can transcribe voice dictation files into written text with up to 99 percent accuracy, said Salem, N.H.-based MacSpeech.

The MacSpeech Scribe Medical add-on is available by download from the company web site and only to registered MacSpeech Dictate Medical customers, the company said.
