To use the pedal for transcription you need to use a transcription program with it, which we do not supply. There are many around, but the two most popular options are:
1. FTR Player is a free program which plays mp3, wav, dss, wma and wmv files and works 100% with our Infinity USB foot pedal.
Download FTR Player here (go to the bottom of the page and download FTR Player 5.7)
2. Express Scribe Our Infinity pedal now works only with Express Scribe Pro, not the free version.
The publishers of Express Scribe may have removed the 14-day evaluation period for the program; check the download for full information.
Download Express Scribe here.
Express Scribe for Mac OS X can be used to load wav, mp3, aiff, and dct file formats.
There are many other transcription programs which will work perfectly with our Infinity pedal; check this list of ones we know about.

We were recently sent this from a transcription company:
This year we found The Best Voice Recognition Software of 2016 -- Top Ten Reviews. While they considered a host of factors in their evaluation, we were interested in what we felt was the most important -- accuracy percentage.
Transcription Software
Accuracy Rate
Dragon Professional 96%
Dragon Premium 92%
Dragon For Mac 90%
Dragon For Home 86%
Voice Finger 76%
Via Talk 64%
Tatzi 72%
e-Speaking 60%
1st oops -- We forgot to add one alternative to VRS.
Human Transcription
Accuracy Rate
AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION CENTER 99%
Now let's take a look at what accuracy percentage really means.
Rough accuracy percentages are based on: 1-hour audio file equaling (30) 8.5X11 pages of 250 words per page.
Accuracy Total Errors Errors per page
95% 375 12
96% 300 10
97% 225 7
98% 150 5
99% 95 2.5
2nd oops-- If there are two or more voices on the audio recording, forget the above error rates for VRS. VRS doesn't work well with multiple voices, 'oy!
Finally, ask yourself, "with this many errors, do I have the time to
review and edit these mistakes?" "What value do I need to put on my
time?"
