I have used Express Scribe in the past and have wired my own foot pedal.
I recently downloaded and installed version 4.16 and now my foot pedal will not work. If I press the foot pedal it will stop the transcription and make the voice stutter but no stop and start like it use to.
When I go to settings and select pedals and hot keys, then select Com1 with 2 pedals.
I then press foot pedal control setup wizard and get the message unable to open the com port.
I go to DOS and use the AT commands, while Express Scribe is running, it says access denied and it will not allow me to do any controlling of the com1 port with the AT commands which I think means that Express Scribe has control of the port.
If I close Express scribe and use the same AT commands the commands work. (echo ATZ>COM1)
Any help would be appreciated.
