Foot Pedal
Emdat does not directly support foot pedals
 
Emdat does not provide support directly for foot pedals. The foot pedal is an external hardware device and like other hardware devices such as a digital camera, printer, or a mouse each one is unique in it's own design and because of this, we recommend the transcriptionist contact the vendor who knows the device the best to help configure it.

Emdat InScribe will work with any foot pedal that can be configured so that the Play Pedal sends an "F2" (meaning when you push the pedal it is as if you are pressing the F2 Key on the Keyboard), Rewind Pedal sends an "F3" (meaning when you push the pedal it is as if you are pressing the F3 Key on the Keyboard) and Fast Forward sends an "F4". (meaning when you push the pedal it is as if you are pressing the F4 Key on the Keyboard) Most foot pedals have software that allow you to configure it to emulate keystroke(s).

Here are the directions for programming the Start/Stop foot pedal.

1. Switch the foot pedal to program mode (under foot pedal, flip switch until blinking light).
2. Place the foot switch on the floor.
