PEDAL NOT WORKING - 1mt


Posted: Jun 02, 2011

I have been doing transcription for 9 years.  I have worked for 4 large companies and I had no trouble using the pedal for them.  However, when I try to do a test, etc., for another company, the pedal will not work with the files that they send me.  What is wrong?  

 

Thanks,

foot pedal - website

There is a website you need to go to and download the software temporarily and then do a test on your foot pedal. But the companies that you are testing for should have that in the instructions. Otherwise you can use the F1, F2 and F3 keys to listen, rewind and fast forward. I believet his is the one you can download and program your footpedal temporarily if the companies don't tell you how. But every company I have tested with had instructions on making the pedal work for testing.

I believe this is the one

In the middle of a dictation when I pressed the pedal it wouldn't stop the dictation.  Now it won't play anything.  I've had it a few years and never had any problems.  I restarted the computer, even did a system restore, and still not working.  I downloaded the driver just in case it mysteriously decided to go away.  Is there any way to test to see if it's defective?    ...

Anyone have a problem with Infinity USB foot pedal? I called the company I bought it from and they sent me a new one. Still having same problem.

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! ...

Testing Without Foot Pedal
Jan 23, 2010

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 ...
