Technical requirements

  • The pedal works fine with Windows 7; Express Scribe works fine with Windows 7; they are both also fine with Windows XP and Vista.

  • There are many software packages available for transcription of recorded material. Express Scribe is the market leader and has versions for Windows and Mac OSX; both versions work with the Infinity USB pedal. 
     
  • The Infinity pedal will not work with Windows Media Player because there is no driver for WMP to understand the signals from the pedal.
     
  • The Infinity USB pedal will probably not work with your proprietary transcription software. This means that if you use an Olympus, Philips etc. transcription program the Infinity USB pedal will not work with it, because the big companies restrict their software to work only with their own hardware. But don’t despair ..... 

    Software like Express Scribe will almost certainly be able to play your dictation files without any difficulty, so just use that instead of the proprietary system. Express Scribe should now be able to play .ds2 files from newer Olympus dictating recorders.
     
  • Call us to check if your software application is known to work with the Infinity.
     
  • Most modern PCs with built-in USB ports should accept the Infinity pedal without difficulty. But remember the software you use may or may not work with the pedal, or it may need a driver to be installed. If your current software does not work with the Infinity pedal, then don’t despair - your sound files should play in other software so you can still use the Infinity.

  • One customer has told us that the Infinity USB pedal works fine with VMWare View providing a Windows 7 Virtual Desktop on an HP thin client system, no driver required, the pedal recognised as an HID.
