Dictaphone ExText foot pedal: Can it be used for other programs? - SM


Posted: Jan 04, 2011

It's a pedal with just a telephone jack type clip on the main wire,  then there's a small converter piece/cord with a USB plug on the other end to go into the computer.  I tried it on my computer and it doesnt seem to work.

 

Will this work with other programs or is it proprietary to Dictaphone?  

Extext Foot Pedal - OldHandAtThis

I was able to use my Extext foot pedal with Express Scribe, but as I remember, I had to download an older version of Express Scribe, and not their newest.

Okay, thank you. I'll look into the older version. - Pby just use another pedal then. nm

Dictaphone/Transnet Foot Pedal W/adapter
Sep 17, 2013

Although I have not gotten the official offer letter yet, my future employer wants me to get a "Dictaphone foot pedal with adapter".  I've worked in the office for many years with a Dictaphone system, but when looking for one on the Internet to buy, there appears to be different models/adapters.  Any ideas?  I don't want to ask them just yet what to buy as it is an IC position and I don't want to look stupid, though I guess I probably am. ...
