February 12, 2007 (Boston, MA) — eScription, the leader in Computer Aided Medical Transcription, announced today the general release of Version 7 of its software products for Dictation, Transcription, Background Speech Recognition, Electronic Signature and Document Distribution. The upgraded eScription products demonstrate significant advances in functionality for users, including clinicians, administrators, and medical transcriptionists (MTs.) eScription provides its software products to healthcare organizations nationwide.
The Version 7 upgrade, which is available at no charge to eScription customers, includes more than 25 new enhancements to the integrated product suite. eScription selected these new features based on input from its customers provided at the Company's annual User Meeting.

eScription's award-winning product for Computer Aided Medical Transcription is based on the simple premise that it is faster to edit than to type. Using the company's proprietary background speech recognition engine, the software creates formatted draft documents that MTs subsequently review and edit, often doubling transcription productivity.
