IpSoft today announces Chord Dictionary 1.2 for OS X, an update to its app that provides reverse chord lookup from a guitar fretboard.

Unlike most chord dictionaries, which provide the correct fingering for a chord, the app allows users to create their own chord and then look up its name. Ideal for musicians of any level of expertise, Chord Dictionary can figure out chord names just from notes and intervals, covers all 22 frets, and now features audio playback of the note or chord selected.
