Has anyone been successful in using the Infinity USB footpedal with editscript? If so, could you outline the steps to do it?
Thanks a ton!

Editscript and footpedal
The company you work with should give you the instructions.
I only know that Editscript works together with the Escription software that you can download free from the internet.
I assume you have the 9-pin serial (Com) port footpedal.
You have also to set the right port on your computer:
Click on Control panel/footswitch/serial port/Com1 or Com2.
Footpedal and Editscript 8
My company is currently upgrading our accounts to Editscript 8. Will my 9-pin Infinity pedal still work with the upgrade or do I need to look into getting a USB pedal? Thanks!

Editscript Version 8 and footpedal
Does Editscript 8 let you use a USB footpedal instead of the 9 pin footpedal? I heard this somewhere and am trying to verify if it is true.
Infinity
I use an Infinity USB. Mine doesn't seem that way, but I've used it a long long time. Maybe it's just because your pedal is new? I can vaguely remember when I started using the one I use now thinking the same thing you're saying, however.
i just use an infinity one.

Infinity wav pedal
The Infinity wav pedal comes in three configurations, IN-USB-1, IN-BMG (15 pin) & IN-DB9 (9pin).
What wav player program are you using, Express Scribe?
Have you upgraded your operating system?

I have Infinity pedals
I have two Infinity foot pedals and just ordered a new one recently for my laptop, a USB from Jay Vance (who posts on another MT Forum). It was $79 including shipping and I had it in about three business days. I was very pleased with the price and his service. You may contact him at: info@vancedigital.com
I have an old Infinity that still works but needs to be sprayed with silicone I think as it squeaks after many years of use but it still works. :)
Mine is an Infinity
and has worked with everything I have tried it with
I like my Infinity pedals. nm

Infinity pedal
I use the same pedal I used with DQS with MQ. It's Infinity. If you want the specifics, I can look them up. In Emdat you will have to do a pedal wizard thing to get it going. I thought it wasn't "taking" because it was so simply. I was doing and then undoing what I'd did. When it says to press the pedal. You simply step on an off of it and not keeping holding it down, which is what I also did and others have done I believe. In other words, complicating an easy task which I do!
The pedal is Infinity IN-USB-1.
The headphone, and I have tried several, plugs into the little audio hole on the computer. The OS is XP. I hope that covers it.
Thanks
I use an Infinity USB with version 8 - nm

USB footpedal
Where do I purchase a USB footpedal?
TIA
Footpedal
You wouldn't be working for Zylomed would you? I was to start work with them - they sent the foot pedal and it was nothing but problems. We (meaning me and their IT people) could never get the foot pedal with the adapter to work. Needless to say, I never did any work for them.
footpedal
I had to buy a 9-pin pedal and go to RadioShack to buy an adaptor. I haven't had any problems.
MT without footpedal
I am an MT with Cerebral Palsy and it is virtually impossible for me to use a footpedal so I use hot keys on my keyboard to control my dictation. It is wonderful. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Once you get used to what keys control what, it doesn't slow you down at all. It is definitely something I couldn't live without and I enjoy having at my disposal.
No way to do it other than with the footpedal,
but you can adjust the speed of the forward and rewind arrows...click on the "more" button. I really do not care for this player either. 
footpedal
Can anybody tell me if the Olympus footpedal with serial (COM) port works with escription (EditScript) ? TIA
footpedal
I would think you should ask the company you will be working for which one they would be using. They may actually provide all that equipment anyway.
so..... how IS that footpedal, anyway?? NM
.
99% of the pedals are made my Infinity
and look alike, though the wiring configuration can be very different. I currently had 3 pedals and 2 will work with ExpressScribe, but they won't work with other software programs as they are wired to work with proprietary software.
My foot pedal says Infinity on it. (sm)
A lot of people refer to a wave foot player as any basically any pedal, but there is an actual brand that is a WAVpedal. You can use Google and find a lot of answers that way.
Infinity or what kind of pedal??
How do you know what kind of pedal you have? I see no markings on mine to identify it. I see you all talking all the time about them, but don't know what I have except that it hooks into a USB port. ?? Can you tell me how to identify? Thanks.
Can anyone help with Infinity foot pedal??
Help! Just bought a used infinity foot pedal, works fine with Express Scribe but can't figure out how to get it to work with DSS. I don't have a serial port that it will fit into in my computer, but have it plugged in with an adapter/USB plug. I have Olympus DSS player 2002 software installed on my computer and tried to play an old file and it would not work. I need to be able to play wav files. Help!
Infinity USB pedal is a common one. See that and others

Infinity Foot Pedal
I have a brand new Infinity foot pedal I have never used if you are needing one. Please write me back. Thanks Mary
Thanks. I was looking at the Infinity USB VE-INUSB model
Just trying to convince myself that was what I should get. It's nice to know I'm not the only one around on a Saturday night! Thanks again.
Infinity Foot Pedal
Can someone please help!! I can't seem to program my foot pedal for back space or fast forward. I can use the "F" keys but would like to use the pedal only. No matter where I press all I get is current dictation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
have never been able to get my Infinity pedal to work...
with Express Scribe. It's a pain, but I've just used the manual controls.
Should have added below that my Infinity USB pedal works with it as well.
will Infinity pedal work with Inscribe?
I'm switching companies and foot pedals and don't understand. I'll be using Emdat-Inscribe, and the pedal I have is an Infinity USB1. Are these compatible? I've done what it says to do on the site for other pedals and it still won't work. Does anyone know if this Inifinity foot pedal will work with Inscribe?
I use an Infinity and it works fine with ExpressScribe. (nm)

Infinity makes probably 95% of the foot pedals
used, even if sold under a different name. I don't know if there is one made to be compatible with what you have, but you could Google foot pedals for your particular model.
Thanks! I've been told Infinity works with (sm)
the new platform I will be working on, I just needed to make sure it would work with my Start-Stop. I really did not want to have to get a new media player as well. Thanks again!
Does your Infinity pedal work with DocQscribe?
Just wondering if your Infinity foot pedal works in DocQscribe? Does it automatically recognise it?
My friend has a footpedal that a former employee of Medquist was using, and went to use it as a new employee with MedQuist and it won't work now. It works in Express Scribe perfectly. MedQuist says you have to rent one from them and they won't "troubleshoot" problems with the pedal since it wasn't purchased through them......(even though it was by this former employee).
Any suggestions?
An Infinity 3-button pedal will do just about everything. Your headset

No matter who sells them Infinity makes
about 99% of the foot pedals, at least the kind you hook to your computer. The foot pedal is different, thicker, wired differently, and there will be an adjustment period. You might try loosening the screws up just a tiny, tiny bit and see if that makes a difference. I have no problem with play but the FF and rewind pedals can be stiff, but I rarely use either one.
There have been some suggestions about putting a folded up towel up against the pack of your pedal so it is thicker than the pedal and that you push down onto the pedal, but your heel is padded from the towel. I've never tried it so can't say how it works, but I just have the tips of the toes my pedal and it works fine.
I have the Infinity, have found it compatible with just about everything, it is great!.....NM

Food pedal, hee hee. Mine's an Infinity...
I've used a Dictaphone foot pedal, too, but it came with the Dictaphone. Try searching on E-bay for foot pedals or Infinity foot pedals.
Yes, you have a footpedal and headphones
are connected to your computer, the foot pedal into the USB port and the headphones into the headphone jack on the computer. In my case I have a laptop that runs for quite a while on the battery, so I can either run it on the battery or I can plug it into an electrical outlet on the deck. I have wireless cable internet, so I don't have to be connected to the router or anything. I also have wireless keyboard and mass, and the little reception unit for that plugs into the USB port, it is about the size of a mouse.
So all I have to do is take my laptop, my keyboard, mouse, foot pedal and earphones on the deck and I'm all set. All of it is very lightweight and not cumbersome like a C-phone would be to drag out and hook up.
I took tests with footpedal. If using
Windows Media Player, have to keep hitting the play and rewind buttons with the mouse. Very time consuming but doable. Good Luck on your test!!
oops, that's WITHOUT footpedal, sorry...
How does the footpedal work???
OK. This may be strange. But, I listen to a lot of audio programming online through iTunes. My son is doing research for school and asked if I could transcribe a news report for him. I can do it the old fashioned slow way, without a foot pedal, but I have a footpedal. I've never before used it for anything other than work, so I just don't question how it's set up. Can I "point" it to work with something like iTunes, as well?
Escription with a USB footpedal?
Can it work or do I have to get a adapter to change it to a serial port? I am not getting the clearest of answers from the MTSO on this one.
USB footpedal and Incribe
I am getting ready to start on Inscribe and my pedal did not work. What type of pedal will work.
Where to get a DB9 serial footpedal?
I'm needing a serial DB9 foot pedal ASAP but can't afford to spend $70+ on it right now. I have an ad on the Classifieds board but I don't think I can wait for someone to reply to me.
Anyone have any ideas where to get one reasonably priced and quick? I already tried ebay and I found one for $54 but that means waiting for the auction to expire, then shipping.
Incompatible footpedal
Try to put the 9 pin into the serial port on the back of the modem instead of the USB port, hopefully you have one. I had the same problem and it worked for me. You have also to click on control panel, then footpedals, then serial port to change the setting.
Footpedal : Hotkeys...........
What is your problem with the hot keys? They are very easy if you get used to it, it is actualy easier on your body than the footpedal.
