Transcription technology?

[Val Pagliai]

Hi,

I use Express Scribe that can be found for free online, has a mac version and a window one. I use the mac version. It allows to use a pedal with USB connection. You just have to select it in the preferences.

Best,

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.
