Footpedal Sticking

Wanting to see what these upcoming changes are. Call me a sucker, but.... have another job and just keeping this for Christmas money right now. Who knows?? We may get bought out by a company with a heart. ...

Is anyone having problems with DQS sticking? It just started on mine a little while ago but it's irritating. I was wondering if it maybe had something to do with the new Kaspersky program we had to install. ...

I recently lost my MT job with a pretty decent company. It was due to lack of work. I know this is happening a lot these days, and I've been reading a lot of the posts here. I know that no field is perfect, but I have to do something. How many of you plan on (or can) stick around to see how things go, and how many of you are going back to school or getting into a different field? ...

What do you have to lose? The only thing that would turn me off is the 2 year requirement to stay here but a lot of companies do that. Some companies provide college education reimbursement if you stay working for them for so long after you graduate. I think MM knows that transcription industry is in the toilet so they are focusing on whatever else they can sell to customers and look good to their creditors. They now have a D rating on Standard and Poors which is not good for a company.&nb ...

...with access to any account they choose, any WT they choose, any MD they want. So you need not wonder why you are only getting the sucky long rambling dictations or unintelligble ESLs. ...

I just wanted to thank whoever suggested WD-40 for foot pedal sticking. I have an IN-USB-1 foot pedal that was sticking. I did try cleaning the dust out -- put it back together but it was still sticking -- that is when I would depress the PLAY button, it sometimes would keep playing and press again to stop -- continually -- sometimes I would press the PLAY button and it would not play, etc. Someone on here suggested WD-40 without taking the pedal apart. I took this a ...

and it spewed. It only dripped a little bit on the keyboard and I immediately cleaned it up, but obviously a drop or two got down into the shift key and now it is sticking and it is driving me bonkers. It's a new keyboard so I really don't want to have to pop out the key. Any other suggestions? ...

It really drives me nuts. I don't have carpet on the floor and my footpedal just constantly slides away from me. Have to reach out with my foot and pull it back. I tried putting a carpet square under it but that doesn't work, that slides too. Any suggestions? TY ...

I currently am using a dictaphone footpedal for ExText, but I am in the process of upgrading to Windows 7 and was told the version of ExText upgrades and I need a USB-2 footpedal. Does anyone know if this can be replaced by the dictaphone or do I absolutely need to have a USB-2? TIA! ...

I have a VEC USB port. I cannot seem to get it to work in EditScript. I also have Express Scribe. Is there a way to get the foot pedal to work. Checked Belkin instructions, and there is no foot pedal listed in my ports. BTW, don't have Belkin so wont work anyway. Any help would be appreciated. ...

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 ...

I need to know what footpedal is great to start out on to do my practice transcription? Just listening to Cd's is what I am dictating off from? The second thing what headphone would you go with also?

Anyone know a website for cheap footpedals? What I looked at was $75. Is there anywhere to get one cheaper? That's for the Infinity usb pedals. ...

I have this doctor who wants me to do some transcription for him at home. 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. I am to stick this in my computer and it will play the files on Media Player. I guess I get to type in plain old Word, pretty old school. How do I get my foot pedal to work with Media Player? It's just your standard old generic USB connected foot pedal ...

Does dictaphone footpedal work with chartnet, or do I have to have a USB-1 or USB-2 pedal? TIA. ...

Last time I tested I was unable to get the footpedal to work with it and had to use hand controls to stop start. PITA!!! Is there a secret to getting this to work or are there some companies whose test dictations work better with foot control? ...

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 ...

I am researching getting some at-home work for either medical or regular transcription via the internet. I am a very experienced med transcriptionist but am very hesitant to work for a national company due to a previous bad experience. Can anybody give me a rundown on what the best equipment would be? I am looking at an Infinity USB footpedal (do I also need a 9-point serial adapter for versatility? I do have an Olympus Pearlcorder T1000 micro-cassette transcriber, but am wonde ...

I need to work in bed for a few weeks due to a leg injury. Does anyone have any ideas so I can use my footpedal? I have been trying to think of something to use besides pillows to hold it in place at the right angle but I'm not having much luck. Figured one of my brilliant peers would have ideas!! ...

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but when I go into "Transcription Productivity Tools," I put in my "user name and password information and hit next available job," but I see no where to try to configure my foot pedal. Just the demographics for the job. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or am I missing a step somewhere? 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 ...

Does anybody work in ExText on Windows 7 and use a footpedal that is not a USB-2? TIA ...

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. ...

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. It is, of course, cumbersome and uncomfortable for me. My question is...is it worth it for my production and speed to try to get used to the Ctrl keys or purchase another foot pedal? Thanks in advance!! ...
