wavpedal?

I'm looking into a few jobs, but they require "wav pedal" for wav files or dss files.  Exactly what is the wav pedal?  I've looked them up on line and I'm a little confused.  I have a foot pedal that plugs into a USB port on my computer.  Do I need special software to be able to transcribe wav or dss files?  Is my foot pedal compatible with wav or dss files?  How do I find this out? 

In the past, I've always been an employee with equipment provided, so I really don't know anything about foot pedals.  Any help on this would be appreciated.  Thanks!

TIA .. if anyone is using the same & has any suggestions.. gina

This may sound like a silly question, but I have a footpedal connected to my computer now, working for a company.  If I bought just Wavpedal software and loaded it, would I just be able to use the footpedal I have now or is there a 'special' type of footpedal it needs???  Cannot find any info regarding this.

Hello everybody! 

I was a medical Transcriptionist in the late 1990's.  I had my own service for about four years.  All tapes at that time, of course. 

Now that my kids are older, I want to get back into transcription.  I don't know anything about the new digital process and I want to learn more about how it all works. 

I've never worked (or played) with any type of audio files at all, so I'm completely new to the whole thing.  I don't even download music. 

I was able to get a WavPedal 5, with software.  I just don't know what to do with it.

I was hoping that someone could point me to a site where I could download a basic audio file of some sort so I could play around with the system, and/or something that explains how all of this works. 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You can use the pedal without the software to listen through your listenting device - the software just organizes your wav files in one place if that is what your transcription files will be downloaded in.

no software.  A company is asking for it to test.
