the keyboard, I would go ahead and buy a new one. The one you apparently now have will ruin you for other keyboards.

I use the foot pedal, just plugs into the back of the
computer.  I use the laptop keyboard when in the car, foot pedal, and headphones.   If we are traveling far I also have an inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter that powers my laptop.

I just purchased a new tower, dell, refurb, 4 gig, 320 HD, 350, vista, really, really fast. However my old keyboard was a 9 pin not usb..Picked up a adapter at staples USB with mouse and keyboard in one $33.
The yellow cable plugs into the back of your computer and (sm)
the other end into the modem. If only one computer is being hooked up, plug it into the slot labeled E1, otherwise you may experience an occasional error message of: "network connection has become unplugged." I hear your frustration regarding ESL "help" technicians -- Vonage is full of them!
As far as I know there are only adapters from the DB9 to a USB and they dont work for EditScript
I tried it.. I desperately wanted to use my laptop and all it had was USB ports but my 9-pin foot pedal would not work when I got that adapter from a 9-pin to USB. As far as I knew, there are no DB9 USB foot pedal only the serial port 9 pin style that I know of.. Hopefully someone out there has figured it out for us.
Try Radio Shack. I buy my pedal adapters there. They might be able to help you. nm

It's basically a phone w/o the handle. Has number pads. A headset plugs into it sm
so you can listen to the dictation via a phone line. So, if you use one you will need 2 seperate phone lines unless you want your phone to be tied up all day.

Docs love it because they can just pick up the phone and talk their dictation right into the phone.

You would access those files by dialing a 1-800 number and then putting in your codes, etc., and then the voice file will be there; kind of like dialing into a voice message box to retrieve your messages except you are retrieving dictation instead. Very simple to use. GREAT quality. Excellent quality.

I am 99% sure I am taking a job I was just offered yesterday that requires the use of one. Right now I am on Doc-Q-U-Suck and can't wait to change.
Radio Shack makes different adapters just for this. If not in the store, look at their website. nm

Yes, the Dynex is working perfectly and trust me I have tried many adapters and finally success.
I can now work on my laptop when I travel.
Wish Escription would mention that when they recommend the adapters or just recommend the one. 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.
