Transcription technology?

[galey modan]

Further to Steve's question, I'd be interested to know if anyone knows
of any good transcription technology which allows you to use a foot
pedal so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and stop and
backspace with your foot, like the old-fashioned cassette transcribing
machine way.
