I had a 15 pin gameport pedal at one time--sm
Posted By: me on 2007-01-17
In Reply to: pedal not working - kims
and tried the USB adaptor route. I could not get it to work, ever. I had to purchase a usb pedal instead. the gameport pedals are wired through the pins as to which pin controls forward, reverse, etc. The usb adaptors do not always pick up that wiring and do not work. Try the suggestion from below about the express scribe thing, but other than that, you may be sol. sorry. JMO

Foot pedal sticking. Is it time to get a new one? sm
I've noticed the last couple of days my footpedal is sticking a bit when I take my foot off of it. Not staying on but sort of a bump/creak and just not working smoothly. Is this a sign that it will be dying on me soon? I don't want/can't afford to be stuck without. Anyone have similar issues and how did you fix it or is it just time to invest in a new one. This one is 3 years old.
I did try the Belkin and I thought it was working but the first time I let up on my foot pedal
it just stopped and froze up my computer. I tried all of the COM ports I could think of. Today, I ordered the Dynex adapter which is the other adapter that Escription recommends and I'm going to try that. I am not giving up. I do hope that in version 8 of Editscript that really do make the foot pedals USB and get into this century. It's almost impossible to find new computers that have the serial ports on them anymore. I will update you on this Dynex adapter when I try it out now. So, for the time being, I am packing along my little portable computer when I travel. It's pretty small but it's just having to bubble wrap the flat monitor that is a pain. At least, I get to work and play. It'd just be nice if I could take my laptop instead..
This would be just a "regular" 3-pedal pedal and not the Dictaphone pedal. nm

You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC

Bringing up ExpressScribe pedal question again. Does anyone have 9-pin Infinity pedal on a USB?
tia
Is there ONE pedal I can buy that will work with ALL platforms? And where do I shop for a pedal?

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.
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.
A wav pedal is just a generic term for a pedal used to
play voice files you have on your computer. You can get them on the equipment board here, e-bay, or you can Google and get lots of other places. Some pedals are fairly generic and can play multiple "wav" types, but some only work with certain software. You can have a serial port connection, a game port connection, or a USB connection.
If you do not already have a job that you need a pedal for I'd suggest waiting because you don't know which kind you will use. If you need it for testing you can download ExpressScribe for free and use the function keys to test.
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.
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!
INCRE pedal vs. wav pedal
anyone know if express scribe works with the INCRE pedal? I have an infinity pedal which I use for current job, but a possible second job says I need the INCRE, so I am wondering if my current job can be supported with this new pedal. Any info appreciated
Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?
**yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
Hippie?? What pray tell is a hippie? Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun? Bye..bye..old person..
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
I recently requested time off for the first time...
(3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time. I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?
thanks.
Not 1st time, wont be happy the 2nd time and

Utter waste of time, unless you have a lot of time--then have at it! nm

I've had 3 at one time, but only one open at a time. nm

Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

Is it the same pedal that MQ uses for DQS? If so
I have an extra. Not sure if they're the same though.
Pedal
I am slowly weaning my clients off tapes to digit, has anyone used the Gear Player pedal and is it compatible with most digital files. I am going to be advertising for more digital accounts and so don't want to buy one that just works with Olympus, Sony, etc. Have a friend who uses the Gear Player and loves it but would appreciate more info if anyone has it. Thanks Patti
WAV pedal
I have a brand new WAV pedal still in box that I just needed to take a test on for a certain company. I am looking to sell it, cheap. I used it for approximately 1 hour to transcribe 5 test exams. Let me know if you are interested.
Wav Pedal
I have an Infinity wav pedal and it has worked with multiple applications. DocQscribe, EMDAT, Express Scribe. As a matter of fact I have this 1 pedal for all 3 programs. It knows which program I have open and works. Anyway, very happy with Infinity and the price was under $100!!
wav pedal
Don't feel bad; I'm even DUMBER!! What is a wav pedal? I have used a C-phone with a pedal, and I am currently using a "dictation platform" or something to that affect (I don't understand some of the terminology when it comes to dictation equipment). So I would be interested in the answer to this question too.
I have the pedal
What else do I need? He has finally sent me some files, but they're playing just like a regular audio file when I open them. Geesh! He has me so upset at this point. I use a WAV files with another doc and we have none of these problems. I download his files, push the foot pedal and transcribe, but the doc with his new toy is sending files nothing even remotely similar to those files.
pedal
I don't think Olympus will, but my Infinity 9-pin works with it.
WAV pedal
I am curious about this Express SCribe you are all talking about. My doctor asked me to check out WAV pedal so we can go tapeless so that is the program etc we are looking at through Medword.com. My cost is $190 for pedal and software. Is there a better and cheaper way of doing this? Another question, I am not understanding how to post questions on these boards/website. Can someone tell me how to do it? TIA
You can get a pedal for under $70.00
WAV pedal
My doctor wanted to go online, so we researched WAV pedal. He bought it off ebay and sent me what I load onto my computer. I was fortunate to have someone that comes to visit periodically that new how to set things up for me. However, I know nothing about what happens on his end. Can someone tell me if he too has a special program to load on his computer or does he just get some type of recorder with memory card and put that card into his computer (like a digital camera, I assume - don't have one of those either), and then sends it to me by e-mail. I do not have high speed, just regular dial up. It takes time to download, but comes across sharp and clear. When I am done, I simply e-mail it back to him. However, I have mentioned a couple of times about an encryption program, and he has ignored my questions about it, so am assuming he does not want to mess with it. I understand they can be very confusing. Any info on this, let me know as I would like to add another client, but don't know how it all works so that I can do that.
WAV pedal know how
Hello.
I just got the WAV pedal and cannot figure how to work it. I got it hooked up right, just can't get it to play. The company wants me to pay for tech support. I'm not ignorant, I work presently for a doctor and soon to work for a company online, so I hope I get the info I need too.
Good luck,
G
wav pedal (sm)
i ended up purchasing the olympus wav pedal for $40.00 off transcriptiongear.com. no software to load. had a USB plug which was easy to just plug in and go. works great.
