Is there any support available from Express Scribe for the free version that is compatible with these foot pedals - both for program &amp; use of pedals?

According to the NCH website for Express Scribe Free version, there is no Tech Support offered and the only foot pedal that works with the free version is the AltoEdge model.

Hey guys, so alexander miller was actually right. You can upgrade to version 10 for free you just need to follow the instructions alex gave above. I hastily returned it though without realizing. Yes, this is a good deal but I ended up getting just the mbox 3 without the full version of pro tools since I've yet to even open pro tools lol. (Still doing everything in ableton live)

Well, the same thing happened to me. I figured out that the foot pedal must be plugged in to my computer BEFORE I open my transcription software. So, for example, if you open your Word document to type into and then open your transcription software and then plug in the foot pedal, it won't work. But, if you plug in the foot pedal to your computer BEFORE you open the transcription software, it should work. Hope this helps. Good luck.

This pedal is great. I use it with Express Scribe from NCH, not Media Player. NCH has a free version of Express Scribe but I wound up paying about $38 (a one-time expense) for the professional version. It was a great investment and using my Vpedal with it was easy. Not sure how to use Windows Media with pedal though.

Yes, both Express Scribe Professional and the Infinity USB foot pedal are Windows 8.1 compatible.

I think it does. I just finished building a pedal board for all my other pedals and was going to sell my 355. I might have used it a combined 5 hours. Its a great multipedal but I dont really have any use for it. I have a seller account on Amazon and was going to put it up for sale. If you want it, let me know & I'll post it and let you know when its up there.

Sorry, Kathy, but I don't know. I had to send it back because it wasn't compatible with Fluency or EditScript, both of which my company uses for transcription platforms. The IT people sent me the right foot pedal -- an Infinity!

I use it w forscore where i import pdf's from dropbox into forscore and my pedal allows me to flip forward and backwards and there's settings to do scrolling and such that I don't use. Love this device!

It does not contain any software. It is meant to be used with a transcription software program. most software will support it, excluding itunes and windows media player. WAV pedal 7 software form dictationstore .com has a free trial and it works with this pedal.

I agree with Nancy. A pedal gives you hands free transcription. It doesn't do much for dictation. You could use a program like Express Dictate for hands free dictation, but you would need a headset and still have to start a dictation by pressing record.

It works well with Express Scribe, but it can be used for any software that I have used.

Hi, no they will not. (This is from our experience.) They are designed to work with "express scribe," software. The pedals come with I believe two licenses. We are a closed captioning and subtitling company, and have used the pedals and software for years. There are "apps" that will work with VLC player, but with cost. The costumer service is slow, but there, they respond by email, unless you pay. However we have had feedback from them, but the express scribe works very well. The pedals and software, on Amazon is quite a bit less money, then buying from NCH. The problem, when transcribing, even if you get your pedals to work with your program, VLC, WMP, or quicktime, is that every time you click the program that you are watching, Word, or whatever you are using to type becomes inactive. With express scribe, your Word stays active and you can have express scribe in a mini window. I've done a lot of searching, trying to find a "fit all," so far Express Scribe is the answer for us. I'm not a NCH employee or rep, by any means. I would suggest, that you search for express scribe, this will get you to NCH webpage, based in Australia. You can download the "free" version, to try. Video will not play in the "free" version. You can however "get the fell of it with an audio file, and use "hot keys." There are some nice features, slow program down, speed up, and of course the pedals allow you to rewind and so forth. Hope that helps, and just my opinion.

I have the free Express Scribe program and it works with it to some degree, but not with all the functions. I do use it successfully with WavPlayer, but this may be a paid program. I am not sure as it was provided by one of my companies.

I bought it for use on a mac, which despite some reports doesn't really work well with osx. The pedal defaults to 3 keyboard keys (a,s,and d I think), and relies on a keyboard mapping utility to customize. If you can find the software download I would suggest trying that w/ a regular keyboard. If the software remaps those to alt/control properly then you are probably good to buy the pedal. This is a very generic product and I was not able to find much support. edit: post deleted and re-posted to remove my employer name.

Tascam RC30P footswitch at http://www.amazon.com/Tascam-RC30P-Punch-Out-Pedal/dp/B0002DUO6U/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1397528907&sr=8-18&keywords=tascam+footswitch looks like the one you need. It has been discontinued, but I see there is 1 left for sell on Amazon. Otherwise, there are probably other brands with similar function. It looks like a basic on/off single pedal with a 1/4" jack. Only use if for punching in/out while recording. Over the years I have had various recorders. I know some people liked the footswitch for punching in/out while recording, but I personally preferred using the auto punch in/out feature on my recorders. The DP008EX has an auto punch in/out feature you might want to try out. You can download the DP008EX owner's manual at http://tascam.com/product/dp-008ex/download
