I have not used express scribe. I use iTunes on a macbook air. but the Vpedal software is an easy download. The process is an audio file comes to me from a go-to-meeting recording. I download the file and convert/export it to an audio file (an different extension on the file). On my computer, when I open the audio file, it opens in iTunes and I use the pedal to control the start and stop as I transcribe.Not sure if that helps....

The cord will work as a connection between the pedal's outgoing signal and the USB connection to your PC, however I would not recommend it for playing the game. In the main menu there's a tone designer with a bunch of different pedals and effects you can add to your in-game sound, so you would be better off with raw guitar output. If you plan on using the cord for third party recording software, then it would be worthwhile to connect your guitar to the pedal, and the pedal to the computer if you wanted to build from that sound.

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?

I just like to have couple of them in the kit bag. Most foot pedals don't have XLR in/outs. If one of your rack mount processors craps out on you, you have an alternate plan. Lots of smaller venues don't have the equipment you want/need at the sound desk. Also if you find one of your XLR inputs on your sound board has broken and its too close to show, you have a backup in place. Hope this helps.

We tried downloading to our current computer software from a DS recorder and it was not a hands-free system. We purchased the "Olympus DS Player Plus", that came with the foot pedal and it has turned out to be a very user friendly dictation system. With the purchase of additional foot pedals, the original software can be installed on multiple computers, if you have more than one transcriptionist.

click on Express Scribe, select Preferences, select pedals, Controller SetUp, next, you should then see a list of options that you can apply to each pedal

You have to have a software program on your computer. If you have it then don't worry about buying a program. If you do need a software program then be sure it is compatible with the pedal.

Go into your transcription software, find the controller options, and you can tell it in the software what to do with each of the three sections of the pedal, e.g., you can choose "backspace five seconds" for the left side, "play" for the center section, and "fast forward" for the right side. You can configure it any way you like. If one of the sections isn't working, it could be because you need to configure the pedal via your transcription software.

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

You can program the pedal to respond different ways. But I don't believe it can be used for anything other than starting, stopping, fast forwarding and rewinding audio files

For transcription I use the program: "For The Record". I installed the Phillips foot pedal cd, and the pedal would not active with the FTR program. In program provided in the CD the pedal work, but its not consistent with my needs. I would not recommend, because I never before install the cd in other foot pedals and the foot pedals always work

I would suggest to research here http://www.numark.com/supportI got it for my brother who later upgraded to a full DJ deck. Unfortunately won't be able to answer. But it connects to a computer to operate, I assume you could record and save on your PC as an alternative.

No, the foot pedal doesn't come with software, nor does it come with a manual. I bought mine 10 months ago and when it arrived, all that was inside the box was the foot pedal. It works great with my pro version of the Express Scribe software. Hope this answer helps.

That is what I use for. I use onsong out live. It pages my set list forward the other pedal scrolls the words. The two pedals have several button combinations and you set your software accordingly. I have not tried using it with iTunes though.

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 think this will depend on the operating system and software configuration you have - you can probably find out by buying one of them frst and seeing if you can reassign the pedals the way you'll need. (I'm only using one myself so haven't had to confront this.)

Don't know. You would have to check with creative media source. I would think that it would depend on the pedal and whether or not it would work with that software. However, you can program the Express Scribe software to pull your dictation from the flash drive when it opens.
