With Express Scribe you can configure any pedal combination. Tick the ‘ Use foot pedal playback control‘ and leave the default Port and Number of pedals settings as ‘ GamePort 1 or USBGame 1‘ and ‘ 3-Pedals‘. Once your USB foot pedal has been connected and recognised by your computer fire up Express Scribe and find your way to the Control tab inside Playback Settings. The pedals are supplied with a Philips driver disk however this is not required, they are pure plug and play pedals and can be setup in around one minute. The middle pedal is long, thin and along the top on the 2310 model whereas the 2320’s middle pedal takes up a larger middle area. Having recently gone through a make over they have been transformed from the older ugly square brick look of foot pedal (like the LFH6212 to the left) into a more ergonomic, sleek modern look with a couple of layout options in the Philips 2310 (LFH2310/00) and Philips 2320 (LFH2320/00) models.īoth the Philips 23 come with three foot pedals. This is where the Philips USB transcription foot controls come in.
The Philips USB foot controls are only compatible with the Windows version of Express Scribe. If you are an Express Scribe user on Apple Mac then i’m afraid the following information is not for you. But for the serious transcriptionist or for people converting from analogue transcription kits (ahh those trusty Pearlcorders), a good reliable foot pedal is a must. Sure on its own Scribe works really well and for some, especially those with no transcription experience, having no footpedal is not a big deal. Primarily because of key reason 1 above this makes it very popular with the army of Virtual Assistants (VAs) around the world who like to include transcription in their portfolio of services offered.
This is great software for two key reasons, 1) it is free $0 2) it is Australian made, NCH Swift Sound are an Australia company based in Canberra. In the dark and mysterious world of transcription, well not really dark and mysterious just needed to make it a little more exciting than it really is, the most common software used by transcription typists is Express Scribe from NCH SwiftSound.
