- What it is
- NCH Software's support article on connecting a foot pedal to its Express Scribe transcription player. It covers the setup wizard, the port setting, game-port and USB pedal drivers, and pedals that the program does not support.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own support article for its software, so it is authoritative for Express Scribe settings. It is undated, and it does not list which pedal models are unsupported, so check a specific model before buying.
Facts taken from this source
- NCH Software says a few foot pedals do not work with its Express Scribe transcription software, and that those pedals cannot be used with it.
