VEC in-USB-3 Infinity 3 Digital Desktop USB Foot Control

This was the SECOND foot pedal I bought. The first one wasn't setting up and turned out (in the small print) to be only useful for Youtube. WHO uses a $90 foot pedal for Youtube??? This one was so easy, and I was able to open Word and the play the sound bar effortlessly.

I ordered the VEC Infinity 3 USB foot control from DMCL on 16th April and opted to pay extra to have it delivered on 22nd April. It arrived on the 17th. Excellent service! The pedal is plug and play (USB) and has 3 programmable buttons. I use ExpressScribe (currently on a free trial) and it works fine with that software. I can’t fault it so far.

購入後、プラグアンドプレイで動作しない場合は、「 VEC Foot Pedal Software 」 と検索してStenographのPedable ソフトをインストールしてみてください。専用文字お越しソフトではありませんが、VLC Playerにキーを割り当てて、使用出来ました。Windows11環境です。

I am a PACS admin and I have doctors with carpel tunnel. Repeated pressing of the dictate button is tedious, especially thousands of times a day. If you turn off the deadman option, it might be down to hundreds of presses a day. It still adds up no matter how you slice it. I tried other foot pedals on here that work too. They did ok but they did not work without the PowerScribe screen being the focused window whenever you were pressing the pedal. That means if you are scrolling through a CT and press the button, the button that it's programmed for (F4 or F5) is pressed inside PACS and not PowerScribe. I was able to craft an AutoIT script to switch from the PACS window to PS1 and then back to PACS every time you press the pedal. It worked well. My IT overlords would have a stroke if I told them I had to deploy a 3rd party software to get a foot pedal to work for a subset of Rads. This product works without having to install any software. The foot pedal has 3 buttons/functions. The large center button is the dictate button. The left raised button is for prior field and the right raised button is for the next field. There are no options to program it for final signing, but I did not test that. It allowed the doc to hold the PS mic in his lap or leave it on the desk. I also got him a condensing mic, like you see Podcasters use, so he just talks with the mic on the desk. The only reason he uses the PowerMic is for the final sign button, but that is also in the software as well. So if you want a plug and go solution, this will work great.

I have been using this for work for about two and a half years now and it is showing no signs of breaking yet! Works perfectly for the intended purpose.
