and saw the big DOWNLOAD button right above the one that says purchase, so you have a choice.

Express Scribe Unfortunately - LinK

No matter what button you click on whether it says free or not, after 14 days it won't work any more and you get a message that you have to buy it. If you keep deleting it from your computer every 14 days you can keep using it for free. I now use For The Record. I know some people don't like it as well, but I use it for my general transcription/legal transcription work and I find the sound quality better. The downside, you can't timestamp with it.

You can timestamp with FTR - justright

I use both ES and FTR. You can timestamp with FTR. If I remember correctly its F9.

Foot Pedal And Express Scribe
May 06, 2014

I have had a VEC Infinity foot pedal for over 10 years.  Have used it with no problems whatsoever on Express Scribe and many other transcription platforms.  My computer (Windows XP) crashed and had to get a new computer (Windows 8).  My foot pedal wouldn't work on Express Scribe anymore (but works fine on Emdat platform).  I thought it was because I was using the free version of Express Scribe, so I went ahead and paid the money to buy the full version of Express Scribe. ...

Nov 01, 2011

Hi, I have just begun to have issues with my foot pedal when using Express Scribe.

I went to their site, but of course cannot get t ...

Help With Foot Pedal Settings In Express Scribe (sm)
Jun 03, 2014

I went into options and all the settings seem to be in the hundreds and described as (ms).  Not familiar with that at all.  I always set my pedal to seconds.  My rewind is extremely slow and when I take my foot off the pedal and then on again I need it to rewind a few seconds so as to not miss anything.  When I take my foot off pedal and then on again, I have to actually press the rewind button for a few seconds and this is really costing me some time and aggravation.&nb ...

Recommend Foot Pedal And/or Software
Jan 24, 2013

Up until now I have not had to buy my own pedal or software, but many companies seem require this.  I could use some recommendations, as I'm a little lost. I would like to be prepared in advance, but do not wish to spend money on something that can't be used.  What kind do you recommend?  I think a pedal that plays both dss. and wav. files, but what about software?  Something that is versatile?    ...

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). However, I need to get a new laptop, and I'm going to be buying a Windows 7 laptop. My boyfriend already has a Windows 7 and he is testing my transcription software and foot pedal on the virtual Windows XP mode that Windows 7 Professional comes with. The problem is that while ...
