Have just connected foot pedals for first time via front USB port to my (relatively) new computer. Express scribe is all set up on computer and pedals work fine during welcome speech and during trial on set up wizard, but neither pedals nor hotkeys work when I am typing from dictation!! Dictation comes thru on media player so maybe that's the problem. Also icon for file is on express scibe window but nothing happens when I click on it. Maybe I am not doing the right thing to download it to my computer so pedals, hotkeys etc work??? BIG HELP PLEASE!!

I am a newbie to all this stuff so would appreciate any help. I have just installed Expresscribe to get started doing transcription work, but when I disconnected and then reconnected the foot pedals I had to reinstall software and do foot control pedal wizard. The controls seem to work when I am playing the welcome blurb from Expresscribe but haven't been able to find out how it goes with transcription yet. Tried it using a song off media player but that didn't work. I have to keep taking the foot pedals out because we only have 1 USB port which my son uses for his bluetooth and we have to swap and change it for whoever is using the port. Is this what I will have to do every time given that we do only have the one port? We are looking at upgrading and of course getting a new PC with more than 1 USB port. Any suggestions welcome. Denise
