Foot Controller

Posted in Instruments by admin on July 18, 2010

Can I make any foot pedal operate with Express Scribe?

I have a used Sony FS-85USB foot controller unit from a friend that did not come with the CD to download Sony's digital voice editor. I use express scribe for transcription. Is there someway I can "fix" this foot pedal to use with express scribe?

My friend does not have the CD and since I have a lot of files already on express scribe, I only wish to use Express scribe.
I have already tried unsuccessfully to use this foot pedal with express scribe and it does not show that it is connected to my laptop, although a sound is made when I plug it in.

Have you tried downloading the Sony software from their website? I'm no familiar with this pedal but some manufacturers are proprietary in that their equipment will only work with their software. Equipment info on the website below.
