Foot pedal? Going from VXP to applying for other companies. What foot pedal should I get that woul
I need one even just to test so it seems. Thanks for the input!
Where do you buy foot pedals for your transcription. Who has the best foot pedals for sale.

I did it too, and now can't use my right foot
You really have to put your foot down.
I have had this problem in the past and just told people, including my kids, I get paid to type, not to talk. Unless there's a large emergency - a lot of blood, the house on fire, etc. - DO NOT BOTHER ME. For all intents and purposes, I am not home. It takes a while, but eventually they get it. Have a virtual wall around your office and tell them it is off limits. Good luck.
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.

Oh honey please run don't walk, right out that door. This man you live with is only in your life to beat you down with discouragement and lies. Please do not allow this to continue. You were created by one who counted the hairs on your head, is the God of the universe but he knows you by name. He did not make you for destruction but for good. Please take your children away from a person who would put them down, call them names and does not care one bit about their well being. Begin to look at yourself for the wonderful, divinely created queen that you are, you have purpose and potential and this man is only there to keep you from seeing it. The day you walk out the door and shut it a ton of weight is going to fall off your shoulders as you will begin to realize that he does not love you, he does not love anyone but himself. You have to show your kids that you love them too much to let anybody (even their own father) treat them as less than great. You are a woman and deserve to be cherished, protected and provided for, anything less is not acceptable. Please go and as you do please know that myself and I am sure many other people out here are praying for you and lifting you up. We stand in the gap for you!! Now go girl and don't you dare look back. Go and be fabulous!!

I have a converter I bought from Radio Shack - I have one that converts USB to 9 pin and another one that converts 9 pin to USB
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 need of 9 pin foot pedal
If anyone has a 9-pin foot pedal for sale, let me know. Thank you!!

When I was a C-phone user, I had to buy a couple replacements. It was too costly to have a repairperson repair them, and instead it was best to throw it out and buy a new one. It used to be we could open them up and clean the CONTACTS.
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?
foot pedal
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.
9 pin foot pedal help
I have used this pedal before on my computer before, it has just been a long time. I have expresscribe, can't get the pedal to work. I'm sure it is just a setting or something simple. Any suggestions?
foot pedals
If the footpedal setup wizard doesn't work it may be that your 9 pin port card has been setup to do other things (maybe games?). You need to get the driver for the card (perhaps the driver CD is lying around somewhere) or get a nerd to update the card's driver. Port settings can also be a problem. Sometimes it's just easier to switch to a USB footpedal!
You could also try Port 1, 2 etc in the settings, running through the wizard each time and see if that helps on one or the other of them. Another possibility is mechancal, the cable/socket may be damaged.

foot rest
 So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest. I also have swollen feet at the end of the day. I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted. Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.
No foot pedal?

Anyone with ATSI using MT world software. What type/brand of foot pedal do you have?

Would any of you want to be forgiven if you cheated on him? They say almost as many women are cheating these days as men, according to Dr. Phil and Oprah. Even with all the troubles that we had in our marriage and the straw that broke the camel's back was the cheating, I could never bring myself to even consider cheating but everyone is different. I don't condemn or condone women who forgive their husbands and know that every situatioan is different and until you are in that situation/shoes it is hard for you to say what you will do. You always say a big "NO, never" but when you are presented with the situation it is amazing how many times that changes.
Help with 9-pin foot pedal...sm
I use a 9-pin foot pedal on the DocQScribe platform and it is not working. A webcam was installed on my computer and ever since then it doesn't work. I uninstalled the cam but the pedal still is not working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the pedal, but still it does not work. Any suggestions?
Thanks

FOOT PEDALS
I need help quickly. Someone gave me a foot pedal with a serial adapter. However, there is no serial port on my new computer. Is there any way I would be able to use this foot pedal with my new computer? Thanks in advance for your help.
foot pedals
I had a 15-pin serial port (game port) foot pedal and when I got a new sound xcard, it no longer had the game port on it, so I was stuxck. I tried the adapter route, but it does not work bexcause of the wiring for the fast forward etxc in the pedal. I ended up having to buy a USB pedal. Alot of newer *puters don't have game ports anymore. good luk.
foot pedals
I would like to thank everyone who offered their advice. I will let you all know how the adapter works out once I get it. Again, thank you.
2 foot pedals
Yes you can; I've used as many as 3 pedals at one time, as long as you have enough ports to plug them into.
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.
you buy a foot pedal. nm

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.
foot pedal
Dog is fine, bouncing all over house as usual. He chewed the wire competely into right at the nub where it connects and goes into the box. Have you ever taken a foot pedal apart? There is sure not much in them. The foot pedals are plug and play type that just go into the USB with no software and the USB port works fine for my printer when I put it in either port. I might try doing a clean up of registry to see if that is affecting. The only thing that I have come up with after all day is maybe the foot pedals I have here are bad too, but one of them is brand new. The dog is chewing on a vienna sausage can right now, maybe he is part goat. The computer place never did return my call, I didn't figure they would know about foot pedals any how. Talk about a headache. I am getting another foot pedal fed ex to me tomorrow so will have to try that.
foot pedal
I will try that. It is calling the foot pedal an unknown human interface device.
foot pedal
I did the uninstall thing and got a this device cannot start code 10. I have the feeling this is a Windows problem now. Maybe I should learn to repair computers instead of using them.
foot pedal
I have it half way working. It only took all day. It is a windows problem evidently because the driver of the Infinity foot pedal is not digitally signed so it would not recognize it. I put my windows disk in and told it to search there and it is working, but the foot pedal is not quite acting right, won't stop when I tell it to and takes 2 times some times to get it started. (Must be like me in the mornings.) Thank you for the ideas. By installing and then restalling with the disk I think it will work out. I don't have a digital player, just the Chartnet Player from work, so that would not work. I will have to have some computer people look at it tomorrow. This has only taken me over 18 hours to get this far. Thank you everyone. 
foot pedal
Thought I would give you a quick end to the foot pedal problem. After 3 days I uninstalled my HP printer and reinstalled and updated the drivers, and the foot pedal is working. Try figuring that one out.
So why not buy the foot pedal?
Can you only buy it from the company and it's overpriced?
Foot Pedals
Any idea why the MT companies are asking that you buy their foot pedal? I have several foot pedals I purchased from employers, and no one wants to use the one I already have. Each new job wants you to buy their foot pedal. I see an ad with MedScribe who is requiring the same thing.
