Foot Pedal Testing - see msg pls

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 ...

Have any of you tested with Integrity HD? You have to transcribe the voice files without a foot pedal, which is utterly ridiculous. If that isn't bad enough, I kept hitting something, and my work would be gone, and I would have to start over again. Is there a way to get the voice file into Express Scribe so a foot pedal can be used. I looked and looked and could not figure out a way to do so. The voice files were downloaded in Silverlight, if that helps any. I am frustrated as he ...

Has anyone done this? If so, how can I do it? This sounds like a silly question, but I've only used on one job and I have no idea how to test it to see if it works with a voice file. The one I use now is one provided by the company I work for. My old one is an Infinity. TIA :) ...

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! ...

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 ...

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.
