Have you looked at f4:
http://www.audiotranskription.de/english/f4.htm
This seems to cost at most €99 for a group licence, but free versions are 
available (only dealing with the first 10 minutes of a recording, but ....).  I 
don't do much transcription, but I used it a couple of years ago and it worked 
quite well.  I don't know how well it would handle CHAT conventions, though.   
They sell 3 foot-pedals, but it also says they support Infinity IN_USB, Olympus 
RS-28, and some Philips and Grundig models.
