footpedal is able to be used with a laptop?

I am shopping for a laptop to work on. I just found that I can buy a docking station to hook into my bigger monitor and use wireless keyboard and mouse, but has anyone used one before with a footpedal? I'm hoping that using a docking station doesnt somehow interfer with using a footpedal. Let me know what your experience was or if you know anything about this please. ...

For those of you who are experienced with VR, do you use the footpedal to control the audio or the keyboard. I am new to this. I am used to using the footpedal but have heard from a couple of others that using the keyboard to control audio seems to be faster for them. I would like some opinions please. Also, maybe you could tell me how long your learning curve was. How long did it take to get your speed up to the point that you were making what you could make trans ...

He dictates on some kind of digital "thing" (his words) and then removes the flash drive from it, which he will give to me to take home.

Hi all. I am using the Infinity USB-2 footpedal with Windows 7. Recently, I started experiencing a problem wherein when I remove my foot from the play switch the dictation does not stop. I try tapping the switch again and nothing happens. I simply have to stp the dictation manually and exit my transcription program and then reopen the file and fast forward to the spot where I left off previously and continue transcribing. I have noticed that this generally only happens wi ...

I'm using a USB footpedal (9-pin with an adaptor). Usually it works fine. From time to time I can't get it to work. It has something to do with the settings. I know how to choose a setting (COM2, COM3, etc) in Escription. But I think it has to match the setting on the computer and that's what I forget how to do. Can anyone help? When I have a VR job it doesn't matter but when a regular transcription job comes along I need the pedal to work. Thanks ...

My new account uses ChartScript to type in and Dictaphone Transnet for the audio. Is there anyway to play transnet using hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts. I have a footpedal but cannot find a comfortable position for using it long term. I did find that Ctrl+P will play the audio but not when I am actually in the area where I need to type. In otherwords even if I keep transnet on top when I hit ctrl+p it wants to activate in my word document. I would appreciate any advice on this and also if there i ...

My 6-month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel just chewed through my foot pedal cord (good thing she is so cute). I am now trying to learn to use the Ctrl keys.

Okay, I should have checked all this out before I bought a new computer, I know. But I didn't and now I am paying for it. My company's software is not compatible with Windows 7 and that's what my new computer installed on it. I have learned that I can take it to a local repair store and have the XP installed on it and the Word 2003, but then I found out from my employer's IT guy that a 64-bit computer is also not compatible. Geesh! Anything else I sho ...

After being driven out of my house to a motel for 5 days last week due to the heat (94 degrees even with a small a/c, I think the time is here to get a laptop. I discovered the motel does have internet access. It's supposed to be 100 tomorrow. I need suggestions in choosing. Since I have to have Windows XP, I'm limited to getting a refurb online. There are lots out there, but mostly Dells, with widely varying models and prices. I know I want something wit ...

I am sure I could use a laptop just as well as I could use a desktop. I would like to travel more before things start getting really bad in America. Plus I would like to visit family more often.

Any ideas or suggestions? I have to buy a new computer and I am debating whether I cou ...
