Infinity Executive Communication Systems 3 USB Foot Pedal Control with Computer Plug In, one unit

The construction is very sturdy (metal, it is completley non-slip, and a good size, so that you can control it easily and accurately. Although I've only used it for a few days, it has worked without fault since the moment I connected it and is very easy to install and use with the software. It was dispatched immediately, and arrived within one working day (I ordered on Friday, it was on my desk on Monday morning). That's the boring bit, but here's the passion: I can't praise this enough. I've got hours of interviews to transcribe, and this foot control together with some free transcription software (I use Express Scribe) has reduced the time by about 300-400%, and the transcribing is even good fun now. I can't believe I even tried to do it without this pedal, because moving your hands from the keyboard every few words to move a control on the screen is just crazy. If you ever used an analogue audio dictation machine in the past, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, then you need to experience this to understand just how much difference it makes. I don't know why every computer doesn't come with one - in fact, my only wish for improvement would be the ability to assign the pedals to functions in other programs.

I had already downloaded, and without a foot pedal was struggling with, the great free transcription software Express Scribe. This was the foot pedal they suggested so I thought I would go for it. There are no instructions with the pedal, and to be honest there didn't need to be. Within a minute of opening the package I had plugged the USB cable into my computer and windows (vista in my case) had recognised the pedal and installed the drivers. I started Express Scribe and clicked on options and then controller. The program already knew that the pedal had been installed so all I had to do was click to tell it to use it. It was that simple and I was up and running in under a minute. The pedal itself is nice and weighty so it doesn't move around under foot. The pedals are comfortable to use. Audio typing is hell without one and this one seems to be good quality, simple to use and for a reasonable price.

I am a Masters Student and spent the past couple of days slowly transcribing interviews for my research. After deciding that I needed to speed things up, I made the snap decision to purchase this foot pedal after investing in some transcribing software. What a joy. It arrived, and within a minute of unpacking, it was in place and doing its job. It couldn't have been easier. I have nothing to compare it to as I have never used anything like this before, but it feels good quality, it is very responsive and user-friendly. It doesn't take up a lot of room but is big enough for my feet to find the part of the pedal it needs to go forward, backwards stop or play. I am using it with Express Scribe, which can be bought as a bundle, but I didn't do this.

This foot pedal is sturdy and pretty heavy; it feels like a quality product. The USB wire is thick, though not too long. It's long enough for what I need but I would definitely check the length if you have anything more than a standard computer on desk to floor setup. I use the product for transcription. I use it with Expres Scribe Transcribe Software. Contrary to some reviews on here stating you can use this pedal with the free version with Express Scribe, YOU CANNOT. As soon as I went to the control wizard to set it up, a box popped up saying 'this feature is not available on the standard version, you have to register to pro' or something to that effect. The pro software cost me just under thirty pounds. So unless you have different software know that this foot pedal CANNOT be used with Express Scribe Free version, and DOES NOT come with any software itself. The box it came in looks nice enough, but there is no manual whatsover. No instructions, not even one of those 'Don't throw this product in the bath' kind of ones. This wasn't a big issue for me as I already knew what I was planning to do with the product, but bear this in mind. I haven't tried to use the product with any games, but I presume it would work similar to a giant mouse and you could bind the buttons as you like. Overall I am happy with the product, but I would say it does feel a little expensive for something that is essentially a mouse for giants. Especially as it does not come with software. However I did a shop around and cannot comment on what it is like compared to the cheaper ones on here.

I needed this to work with Big Hand. From reading the reviews I wasn't sure whether it would work or not but it was a very good price compared to anything else so I decided to risk it. It was easy to set up and seemed to work OK but then it all went funny. However after switching everything off and restarting it's worked perfectly since - I think I just thoroughly confused it at the beginning by trying to change all the settings at the same time. It's been working perfectly with Big Hand for the last six months so I would recommend it for this purpose.

Quick delivery and a great product. It didn't come with any instructions but it was easy to set up - just plug it in and it sorts itself out. I feared from the reviews that I might have to upgrade my software but it seems to work fine with my free version of Express Scribe. I wish I'd bought it ages ago tbh, it makes transcription so much easier!

I'm a final year student at university and I needed this for help with transcribing interviews for my dissertation. Currently in the middle of doing so! As much as I didn't want to spend so much money on it, and I still feel for what it is, its too much money but I couldn't find anything cheaper! Further disappointment is that it doesn't come with any instructions or any software to actually use it with!! I find this staggering considering the price of it, I would at least expect it to come with a programme you can use it with. However I knew this would be the case before I bought it as far as software goes but the fact it came with no instruction or help in regards to actually finding or recommending software to use with it, is just bad! Thankfully, I'm handy with computers/know how to use them etc. So i was able to google software to use it on which is called 'Express Scribe'. Though even this software isn't the most simple to use and tries to be sneaky in getting you to pay for their 'premium' software version (which you don't actually need for simple recording playback), and my mum who isn't as tech savy as me (but still has a fair idea), struggled to come to grips with this and ended up giving up using it for her counselling course. So if you find yourself going to download this software (which is the only one I found) to let it trick you into thinking you need a 'pro' package because that means you are just gonna add more money on top of what you paid for the pedal. Make sure you click to download the free version or else every time you upload a recording on the pro version it will tell you, you have to buy the 'pro' package in order to do so. Anyway I know the software is nothing to do with the the pedal itself, but all this confusion and complicated-ness could be avoided if the company weren't so lazy and just make their own software that comes with the pedal so that when you plug it in it automatically works and you can get started straight away rather than the whole circus show of googling and downloading software online. THE GOOD! Yes there is actually good points! Sorry for the above rant but its frustrating when you buy something at such a price, you expect there to be some sort of help or guidelines towards how to actually get it to work! But once you get it up and running and have the right FREE software downloaded and recordings uploaded, the pedal itself works a treat! It has really sped up my transcribe and saved so much time and effort of flicking back and fourth through windows to pause and play, or rewind etc. I can continuously type and stop and rewind effortlessly. If you don't mind a bit of hoo-haa with getting software and are fairly tech savy like me then I would still recommend getting this as I don't think there is a better alternative unfortunately! Or maybe there is and I didn't look hard enough. Either way it could have been made a lot easier to use if it came with its own software, which really for the price, it should do. Instead other companies are trying to rip you off to buy 'pro' transcribe software that you probably don't actually need to buy, so make sure you look to download the FREE version! If you want to know how to find the software, simply type 'infinity foot pedal transcribe software' into google and it should be the first link to come up (nch.com), open the page...don't click the 'download' button in red (the most obvious download button to the right of the screen) as that is the 'pro' package download and it will ask you to buy it in order to upload your recordings. But in the third paragraph down the page under 'get express scribe free' there will be a link in blue and underlined...click that to download your free version... and from there it is easy enough to understand! Hope this helps! Once this is downloaded, I have had no problems with using the pedal and it does the job it says it should do! I would have given this higher stars had it not been so complicated with downloading software!

This was a really good value and easy to use bit of kit. I read a review on this product that estimated this saved 3-400% (or was it 4-500%?) of time to do the transcription - I would suggest that it was considerably more than that. What was more it was just so simple to use. I downloaded Express Scribe ([...]) which was free, plugged in the foot pedal, assigned functions to each of the 3 pedals and off I went. If I have a teeny comment to make it was that the default setting for the controls seemed a bit counter-intuitive (easily remedied) and perhaps a little more irritatingly the rewind pedal seems to move the audio back very slowly (at least at first, but maybe that makes sense to people who're more experienced at transcribing audio than I am). Overall, I think this represents excellent value for money and I thoroughly recommend it.
