Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
Wav pedals
Could someone explain to me the mystery of the wavpedal? I have three right here, and none of them work on the same platform - one works for one but not another, and so on. they all look exactly the same and have no identifiable information printed anywhere on them. These came from Transcriptiongear. I would like to unload a couple of these, but have no idea how to advertise them or even tell someone what they are to give them away. HELP!
No pedals given at SS
SS does not provide pedals. Maybe they used to.
I have decided to keep their pedals
until they call me asking for them back (if they even do that). I do not understand how companies like this stay in business. Their loss! Thanks again.
foot pedals
foot pedal used w/ DocQScribe is not compatible w/ Express Scribe. I had to buy new foot pedal for use w/DocQscribe several years ago.
I would keep the pedals for now and move on. If they are too busy sm
to get you set up to work, they are probably too busy to want their pedals returned. At least that way, if you keep them, you will have something for your 2 months of sitting around waiting!
Infinity makes 99% of the pedals anyway. I used a DVI
pedal when I worked on Chartscript, but I don't work on it with KS.
Me too! Got 3 foot pedals under my desk - lots of fun!!

When did KS stop supplying foot pedals?
I was hired by KS in early September. I was immediately sent an email with attachements of docs that I had to complete and return. I immediately completed it and faxed it back in. I got an email acknowledging that my paperwork had been received.
Six weeks went by without a word from ANYONE. I emailed the person who initially emailed me the pwrk. I also emailed the recruiter. Three days went by without a word from either. Finally, after another week and a few days, I was contacted by the TL and an IT person and a foot pedal was sent.
When you hire people, there is no acceptable reason for weeks to go by without any sort of contact. I hope that you guys have since gotten yourselves together. I quit shortly after being hired.

Foot pedals needed for testing with Amphion?
I don't have a foot pedal for my computer. I have one that went with my transcription machine in the past but I suppose that's a whole different thing. I want to test for Amphion and I wondered if anybody has taken their test and knows if the pedal was needed?
sounds like SoftScript. I have some of their pedals too. Never wanted them back. Actually, sm
they were sent to me BEFORE I accepted a position from them.
Infinity makes the majority of the foot pedals, so to
ask if an Infinity pedal will work is too general of a question. Do you need game port, serial port, USB, 9 pin, 15 pin, etc. They can be configured different ways so just because it is an Infinity doesn't mean it will work.
I use an Infinity pedal but it is specially configured to be compatible with only DVI.
I posted about halfway down this page about foot pedals
and how I get them to work for online tests usually. The heading of the post is foot pedal. Hope it helps.

If you download of Windows Media Player version 10, you can use Ctrl P to stop and start the sound and also speed up or slow down the rate of dictation. Below is the link that talks about the speed control and how to use it. It is still a bit cumbersome, but a lot easier than using the mouse in my opinion. If you have any questions, feel free to E-mail me.
