Philips Speech Processing has announced their new dictation and transcription software for OS X. Starting this month, the app will be available on all SpeechExec DVDs, which ships with all Digital Pocket Memo packages.
TNW:
Dubbed SpeechExec4Mac (!) and to be used in combination with the DPMConnect4 (!) Mac software, the solution enables users of the Philips Digital Pocket Memo (!) to download dictations to their company network and play them back on their Macs.
(Let it be duly noted that TNW REALLY likes exclamation marks!(!!!!))
Apple recently announced it will be including its own dictation software in the upcoming OS X Mountain Lion for the Mac. Other available text-to-speech software providers Philips will be competing with include Nuance (Dragon Dictate and MacSpeech Scribe), NCH Software, and Avatron.
Philips says SpeechExec4Mac is different because it is the only professional dictation app that supports the DSS Pro file format from all International Voice Association vendors in a Mac environment. They say it’s also an “open system”, which will give users the freedom to choose their own workflow settings.
SpeechExec4Mac will share licenses with its Windows-based equivalent so that it will integrate into mixed environments and with other Windows-based SpeechExec applications.
