Escription with no foot pedal - F
Posted: May 31, 2013
My foot is cramping up, is there a way to use a keyboard shortcut instead of the footpedal for the voice. This is for Escription, thanks.

Is your foot pedal too far for you to reach it comfortably? I had to cut my table down a couple inches so I can sit closer to the floor and hardly use alot of muscles to use the foot pedal. Or get some boards, a couple inches tall and then put the foot pedal on to of it to bring it up a little more so your knees bend just a little bet more comfortably. Always wear shoes.

I actually tried typing without the foot pedal - the other night.

By golly! I liked it! It was kind of like driving your car with cruise control! hahahahahahah
I did it when I was testing - new but old

I remember when I did their testing for some reason my foot pedal would not work and I had to use my keyboard. Admittedly it wasn't the easiest to start with but by the last dictation I had gotten the hang of it and actually did like it too.
My problem with it is there's no skipback with Alt + A for Play. - sm

I actually set up a macro that added a little skipback, like with the footpedal, and that works fine. After that, I tried just keyboard commands for play and stop for a while and it "felt" good and like I was going a little faster than normal, but my lines per hour showed otherwise. Strange. So back to the footpedal for me.
I just received my Infinity USB foot pedal from PCDictate. I am employed with Nuance using the eScription platform and I am unable to get this foot pedal to work. Can anyone who works on the eScription platform (preferably with Nuance) tell me what settings to use so this thing will work? I'm about at my wits end. I'm beginning to think the old pedal I had was fine and I spent money for nothing. I have a new computer and it shows the pedal IS installed and functional, but it ...
Hi!!
We had our meeting at the hospital today with Nuance about being onboarded with them. We were told by HR that the hospital will let us keep the computers we have been working on, but that Nuance will be sending us the "special" Escription foot pedals. Is this true? I have never worked on Escription before. Does it require its own pedal?
I am so heartsick about this transition but at this time, I have no other options. I am going to go into this with the thought of doing my work, ...
Is there a difference between a USB foot pedal and an Infinity foot pedal? I have a part-time job that lists equipment needed as an infinity foot pedal, I have an USB one that worked fine to take the test, if there is a difference then I need to order one fast.
Thanks. ...
I am taking a test for a company and have gotten as far as taking the transcription portion. I downloaded their file (pedalplugin-win) but whenever I lift my foot off play, the tape rewinds to beginning. I cannot rewind or FF and autoplay to 0 isn't registering.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to?
Thanks!!!! I have 4 hours to complete test. ...
I am a recent grad and have my foot pedal from school which is an Infinity In-USB-2. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between that and a wav. pedal? I have tried testing on several sites that require a wav. pedal and my pedal will not work on these. Any thoughts? ...
Hello. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on the best footpedal to buy. I am just getting back into transcription after being away from it for several years and I am not very technologically bright :-) I don't have any clients yet but I would like to have a wave pedal or foot pedal ready for whenever I do find a client. What would be the kind that would be the most versatile and go with most platforms/systems? I have Windows Vista. Any advice ...
I'm over testing for the Q on their test site and thought I had installed my foot pedal but it's not working.
Does anyone know how to use your foot pedal on the test rather than that silly F1 function key to start and stop the audio? I'm afraid I'll be here all night getting 5-6 words at a time with the "hand" method as opposed to the "foot" method, LOL!
Any suggestions greatly appreciated...Grazi! ...
I've got a USB-2 foot pedal here, brand new from Martel Direct, as part of an all-in-1 kit. Some job listings specify a USB-1 foot pedal; others just say USB foot pedal.
Is there a huge difference between the 1 and the 2 versions? ...
Hello,
I had to get a 9-pin foot pedal for a new job. I configured it but now my USB foot pedal will not work on Express Scribe. How do I get both of them to work?
Thanks, ...
I am switching computers and cannot get my foot pedal to work. I believe I need to download a driver, but am not exactly sure which one I need. It is a serial to USB connection if that makes any difference. Cannot find any model number, etc, on my pedal. I work with the I Know Med system. Can anyone out there help this frustrated MT??? ...
Hello - I have a question - im trying to pick out an MT school and I have just talked to one of them that said they do not offer a footpedal because they believe the footpedal will be obsolete in a few years. Now I have never ever heard of this before but thought I would check with you all to see if anyone has ever heard this and what software programs actually allow you to work without a footpedal. TIA ...
Just wondered if anyone here had ever heard of a foot pedal that could be activated some other way than by pressing with your foot. I have a handicapped friend who was hoping there was one that could be activated any other way.
Thanks ...
I am starting my new job as an IC today, and the foot pedal given to me today has a phone line connection. I have a new Dell and no phone line connection possible on my PC. I do have a USB foot pedal. I am still installing software necessary for the program, so I have not been able to give it a test spin. Will my USB foot pedal work, or will I have to wait a week for the adapter to come in? ...
I was curious whether anyone on this board has had experience doing transcription without a foot pedal and using their mouse to control the transcription player. I recently tested at Wedmedx for QA and Rad jobs and they wouldn't let me use a foot pedal, I also couldn't slow it down. I missed passing the QA test by 2 points and the rad test by 6 points. A couple of the docs were ESL and the sound quality was not that great. I have years and years of transcription experience bu ...
I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of my right knee. Despite taking ibuprofen, after working a while my leg aches from the knee down. Does anyone have any tips for combinating this pain? It is making it difficult to work for long periods of time. Thanks! ...
I am about half way through my transcription training, I've just begun the actual transcription portion of my schooling. My school did not provide a foot pedal nor did they say that I needed to purchase a foot pedal but trying to do a transcription with a mouse is a pain in the you know what! Is this something that I will get used to or should I purchase a foot pedal? Any suggestions on what I should purchase? ...
I need a new foot pedal but am not sure what I need. The one I am using right now is infinity in-usb-1. I would like one that doesn't backspace/rewind when I take my foot off it. Any ideas? ...
gallon laundry detergent jug and filled it with water. When I need a bathroom break, I set the jug on the edge of my pedal and the dr jabbers away while I am gone. ...
Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong with my foot pedal? While I am working, sometimes when I lift up my foot to stop the dictation, it keeps playing like the pedal is stuck or something. I have not spilled any kind of sugary drink on it to make it sticky. It also does this with the fast forward and rewind pedals. It's about 5 years old....is it just getting worn out? ...
All of a sudden my foot pedal has been automatically back spacing about two sentences. Does anyone have a clue how to change it so it doesn't back space? Thanks! ...
Hello:)
I just got a new computer and was in the process of moving my foot pedal over to it, and to my shock, there is no outlet in the back of the new one that is compatible with my old foot pedal, which is a DB9 outlet, there are only USB ports back there. Is there some sort of converter I can plug it into to make it work or will I have to buy a new foot pedal that is a USB foot pedal?? Thanks so much! ...
Does anyone know if someone has come up with a cordless foot pedal yet? If not, I'm going to look into someone making one because I cannot stand this cord any longer! I'm using a laptop...and yes, I work with it in my lap ;)).
TIA ...
Dumb question but fairly new to this.....can anyone tell me how I can use my footpedal to type MP3 files? My clinic I work at uses these files and we can't figure it out. The MP3 files are on a flash drive which I downloaded to my computer and they are being played by windows media player??? Any help is MUCH, MUCH appreciated. ...
