Any other free software out there other than ExpressScribe that's compatible with Infinity USB - MT20


Posted: May 20, 2014

Can't get pedal to work on Express Scribe.  Have tried everything.  Are there any other free transcription software/programs I can download?  Thanks.

Your post is very vague in just stating you cannot get your foot pedal to work with ES. What operating system are you using? If Windows 8, you may have to download the drivers for ES to work with Windows 8.

There is also a free "voice player program" called The Record Player by For The Record. If you do a search on the technical board, you may find my helpful hints as to how to download this program and use it. It is also a great program if you are doing multispeaker presentations, as it is four channel audio and you can mute a speaker out if you wish.

I have downloaded drivers & did all of that & it did not work-looking for something other th - MT20

The Record Player I understand doesn't work with pedals.

The Record Player does work with foot pedals. I have an IN-USB 1 foot pedal and it works just fine with it. Of course, I am using Windows 7, so again, depends on your operating system. Other than that, don't know what to tell you, except maybe if you have Windows 8, see if it can be rolled back to Windows 7, in which case, you would have to contact Microsoft.

Infinity Foot Pedal... What Program? Using ExpressScribe...
Aug 22, 2011

Hi there! I've been using ExpressScribe for my Infinity USB pedal, but I can't stand it!  I'm used to being able to tap the middle pedal once and it automatically rewinds a few seconds, know what I mean?  So far I can only get ExpressScribe to rewind by pushing a different pedal, and I don't like how long it takes, and how inconsistent that is.  So... 1.)  Does anyone know how to change the settings to tap-and-rewind for ES? Or... 2.)  Does an ...

Hi, My 3-year-old Windows XP laptop crashed on Monday; thankfully my 7-year-old Windows XP desktop still chugs along (slowly) and I've been able to do my transcription work without a glitch (for the most part).

Free Line Count Software?

It's been years since I have needed line count software.  In fact, I found an old "disk" - it was a floppy disk, so that's how long it has been!  Anybody know of any free line count software.  I actually don't need it to keep track of all my lines, just so I'm close.  It needs to count separate reports, not just one big document.  I know Word has it's own where it counts characters, but I don't want to have to keep taking my hands off t ...

I have been an MT for decades, using Word Perfect, then Bayscribe, and now another platform.  I never worked in Word. I was in the dark about a lot of things, being at my previous job for over 10 years, perfectly content, not realizing the chaos that was going on in this industry.  After being sold about 2 years ago, I had to learn a new platform, learn VR, and finally after a few years, understand how to use this particular platform.  Please bear with me as I ask a few ...
