Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.

Does "MIDI Synth" come up there so you can put a check mark? No it's not the same as microphone. My other PC, instead of "MIDI Synth" says "SW Synth Balance."
Another thing that might help is to go into Control Panel, Sounds, audio tab at top, then click on advanced under playback preferred device. There are a lot of settings there. I have it set to stereo headphones now. A while back, on another job, "laptop stereo speakers" setting sounded best. I was using a headset and was NOT using a laptop, but that setting worked best for me.

A wave pedal is a foot pedal that connects to either
serial port, game port, or USB depending on the software needed with it. You have to download the work via the internet and most companies still require high-speed internet, though some allow dial-up or satellite. A pedal costs about $70, though can find on e-bay cheaper. You can download ExpressScribe for free to use with the foot pedal unless the company requires a different software program.
They probably all play .wav files. The USB pedal is

Do you have a wav player and pedal to play the files?
x
You will need wav player software on your PC for your pedal to play
files. You can download Express Scribe for free and it works really well. Then you will need your clients to use digital recorders to record their dictation. The dictation can then be saved to a jump drive, disk, etc. or uploaded to an FTP site that you maintain and you will then be able to download the files from the FTP site to your PC and transcribe them.
Can you download Express Scribe and see if you can get your pedal to play through that? nm

wav pedal is a foot pedal that plugs into your
computer so you can transcribe wav files. There are many other formats such as DSS, but they are all digital voice files.
I don't think brand of foot pedal is important, but need to know if it is game port, serial port, or USB and how many pins it has. The majority of them are made by Infinity in some foreign country, but sold by many companies.
WAV pedal vs. USB port foot pedal
PLEASE HELP! Are wav pedals and USB port foot pedals one in the same? I've only transcribed from audio tapes, and all this is new to me. Thank you for your help.
I also have a USB foot pedal. Do most companies use the USB pedal or SM
will I need a 9-pin or a 15-pin. Also, which transcription software for playing back audio files is the best? I've used one that was a fee download, I think it was called Bytescribe or somethingl ike that. Does that work for most all files or should I look into purchasing something like Start/Stop or GearPlayer?
Oh and does anyone know where I can get Microsoft Word or Office Suite for a reasonable (I'd say cheap, but cheap usually means bootleg) price?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but it's been a while since I've worked for a national. Before the hopsital job I'm being laid off from, I worked in the office at a hospital. So I've been out of the loop so to speak.
Thanks guys.
Royal Philips ergonomic foot control
I have one of those foot pedals and I really like it alot. It is much easier to use that the other one that I have from years ago. You might consider it to be defective and contact the manufacturer for help.

The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.

What is the best foot pedal?
What is the best foot pedal to have? Which one is the easiest to set up and use and can be used with different files? I already bought one but can not get it set up to be able to use. Bought from Expresscribe to use with their program and have had no help. Brought in a computer guy. No help. So I am stuck with this pedal and can't use it. I am now looking to buy another one. Any recommendations?
FOOT PEDAL
It is a USB port pedal. It wasn't so much as they would not help me, I got aggravated waiting 2-3 days in between e-mails and trying things that did not work. It has something to do with no driver. So now I am looking for a universal foot pedal to make it easier for me to find a secondary account.

Foot pedal
I am working for a company, renting a computer and foot pedal. I discovered I could use my own computer so want to send their equipment back. Their foot pedal is a 15 pin pedal. I have a 15 pin pedal of my own, looks identical to theirs. When I plug my foot pedal into the game port on their computer it does not work. I need to know what I need to do to my own foot pedal to make it work on the game port on my own computer. I am so technologically challenged. Does anyone know what I need to do?
Foot Pedal
If you are using express scribe then change the port option inside change the port options. If you are using game port then click on the game port options inside. Hopefully it will work.

in-USB Foot Pedal
I am a recent graduate and looking for a job. In the meantime, I want to be sure I have the right equipment. I have a standard cassette transcriber with foot petal, but have been told that I should have something that works directly with my PC (mine may be outdated). Do I need to purchase software if I buy an IN-USB foot pedal? The equipment/software requirements are a bit confusing. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
Foot pedal
Sorry. Don't know of any free one to download. If you haven't already, you can go to your Express Scribe screen, click on Help, then click on Foot Pedal control. It has a lot of information that might be helpful.
foot pedal
You can download the free Express Scribe software to download dictation files. I have used Express Scribe with my Infinity 9-pin serial port foot pedal and it worked just fine. I purchased my foot pedal on ebay so it wasn't that expensive because I was just starting out. You should not spend a ton of money on foot pedals in the beginning until you get a job and know what program the company you are working for uses. Not all foot pedals are created equal. Some programs require a certain type of footpedal.
foot pedal - sm
Thanks for your reply. I am not very technical when it comes to these things. So what you are saying is that in order to use Express Scribe, you have to have a 9 pin serial foot pedal? If so, I will go on ebay and try to get one since I need to test for several companies..I have never tested on line before. Thanks for your help.

I'm not the most technical person either, but you can use a USB foot pedal with ExpressScribe. I will try to include a link here to a USB pedal that shows what it works with, will not work with Dictaphone ExText. I think my choice would be USB. I do know there are a few companies out there that do require a 9-pin pedal only, but I think things are moving more and more towards USB. The lap top I just bought doesn't even have a serial port, you have to buy the docking station to get one, although I think sometimes you can use some kind of adapter. I have used USB pedal with ExpressScribe to test on it. The technical board is a good place to ask questions, too.
I had to buy a foot pedal....sm
but that is pretty common in companies who do not supply the computer. I don't remember it being that expensive, though, only around $100. What are they asking you to pay for?

Never worked with wav player before. would a lanier foot pedal work with express scribe program (as a foot pedal) instead of the million $$$ one that I can't afford. Downloaded program but "Hot Keys" on keyboard is making me nuts. Need advice. Thanks.
Could be a bad foot pedal
This happened to me after I reset up my system after remodeling. I brought in all kinds of repair people. After my DH took the foot pedal apart, it was found that the pedal was just worn down where it connects when you press down.
foot pedal
I thought InScribe was the software. I'm very ignorant when it comes to this stuff. Will Express Scribe work with InScribe? what kind of connection do you have at the end of your foot pedal. Mine is a USB.

Help with foot pedal
Ok, ladies, started this new job yesterday and have wav foot pedal. For some reason the pedal is different. Before when I would press on the outside on the right hand side it would rewind and the left would be fast forward. Has anyone had a similar incident and how do I change back to what I have always worked with? Thanks.
foot pedal
Its all in the way you are setting it up. when I got my new computer, had to reinstall, and that was happening to me. I just kept starting over, until it finally started working for me. good luck, keep trying.

usb foot pedal help
Help - this old MT is switching to an account with a WAV pedal and I would like to know if I am working with a USB WAV pedal if I need usb headphones also. Do standard computer headphones work with WAV pedals? I was told to get my own headphones. Thanks!
foot pedal
I have a problem and need to see if it has ever happened to anyone else. My dog chewed off the cord to my foot pedal (long story). Computer said there was a power surge when it happened. Now I cannot get any foot pedal to work on computer. It will connect for a second and then disconnect, I keep hearing the windows ta dunk sound I call it. The local computer people sounded like they thought I was crazy when I called them. If anyone has any suggestions I sure need them. I am trying to do my files by the hand control and it is driving me crazy.
foot pedal
This does not sound good. first, try to reboot and see if that helps. if not, it does not sound very promising as usually a power surge means that something was fried out inside your computer. How was it plugged in? USB? or 9 pin or 15 pin? If it was USB, can you try a different port to see if it will work there? If not, then this sounds pretty serious and you may have to get either a new foot pedal or hopefully nothing worse. good luck.
foot pedal
It is USB, I have 2 ports have tried both, the printer works fine in either one of the ports, That is really crazy I know. I have rebooted, plugged and unplugged. I don't think this a problem that our local computer guys are going to be able to fix either. Is it possible to take ports out of an old computer and install them in the current computer. I have 2 extra computers here, but they don't have the work software on it. I am just about as frustrated as I can get right now. It seems like I have lots of luck, all bad.
foot pedal
Yes I tried another pedal. In fact I have tried 2. Thanks for answering, makes me feel good that someone is out that. I wonder if I am the only one this has every happened to. The one that the dog chewed on he chewed the cord completley in to. That is the only thing he chewed up while I was gone too. It was payback. Any one what a jack russell terrier? As I am working with the hand clicking I keep hearing the kerplunk sound because the last foot pedal that I tried is still hooked up. I am going to see if my son can install me a new USB port, but I don't know if that will do it either. I have searched for the Infinity foot pedal web site and did not find it and did a general search about foot pedal problems and came up with nothing like what I have. I tried out express scribe the free version and could not get any foot pedal to work with it, but the printer works in either USB port. There has to be a glitch in the computer programing, I even tried doing a restore with no luck. I need a big 4 leaf clover or something.
