## Overview

The AltoEdge USB Transcription Foot Pedal is a high-performance, ergonomic device featuring three programmable pedals for rewind, play/stop, and fast-forward. Compatible with both PC and Mac, it uniquely supports the free version of Express Scribe and most transcription software. Weighing 1.9 pounds with an anti-slip base, it ensures stability and comfort during extended use, while its closed design reduces pet hair interference, making it a reliable tool for professional transcribers.

## Description

The ONLY pedal that works with the FREE version of Express Scribe. Engineered for the highest level of performance and comfort, the AltoEdge USB foot pedal is designed for transcription or dictation; it is compatible with most common digital transcription software applications that exist in the marketplace today. There are three pedal controls which are typically setup for Rewind (left), Play/Stop (center) and Fast-Forward (right). The ergonomic design of the AltoEdge foot pedal provides fantastic comfort great for all day use. Weighing in at 2.3 lbs, the foot pedal is just heavy enough to keep it in place while in use and the anti-slip backing helps ensure it stays right where you want it!

Review: Works with the free version of Pedable - Use VLC coupled with the free Pedable software I'm able to listen, and update any notes I've taken during a recorded call. I like that you can assign the pedals to tell VLC to skip back, skip forward, stop or (re-)start the playback. With VLC able to play back audio faster than real-time, I have the ability to quickly listen past unimportant parts, but then stop and skip back a few seconds to catch a comment made, all the while keeping my hands on the keyboard has been a great productivity booster.
Review: WORTH WAITING FOR! - I AM A TRANSCRIBER OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS WHO HAS ALSO RESCUED TWO DOGS AND FIVE CATS, ALL VERY HAIRY. MY OLD FOOT PEDAL WOULD GET STUCK, NOT BACK UP WHEN FOOT LEFT THE CENTER PEDAL, AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A STRAIGHTENED-OUT PAPERCLIP TO DIG OUT THE FUR TO GET IT RESPONDING AGAIN. SO WHEN I SAW ON MY SEARCH FOR A NEW FOOT PEDAL, AND SAW HOW CLOSED-IN IT WAS -- WHICH WOULD MOST ASSUREDLY CUT DOWN ON THE TRAPPED PET HAIR, i COULDN'T WAIT TO GET IT. FROM A TRANSCRIBING STANDPOINT, IT IS A GODSEND!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with .ma4 files?**
A: The transcription software is what tells you what type of files can be played, not the pedal. So if your software can play .m4a files and if Alto Edge pedal is compatible with your software, you should be fine.

**Q: Is there a manufacturer's warranty with this product?  I've now owned two Infinity foot pedals and an having issues with both.**
A: The AltoEdge pedal carries a 90 day manufacturer warranty.

**Q: Will this work just as well with mac os catalina?  it should, if it is really plug and play... but...**
A: The Alto Edge USB Transcription Foot Pedal works well on my MacBook with an OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6.  My MacBook only has a C-Port and no USB port so I have to use my USB to C-Port adaptor that came with my Mac.  Overall I find this foot pedal to be accurate and sturdy.

**Q: What is the difference between this foot pedal and the Infinity IN-USB-2 foot pedal?**
A: I have this foot pedal....it must be a USB-3.....fast forward....play....rewind.....I'm not sure what a USB-2 is.  It works excellent.  I would rate this highly.

### ⭐ These pedals keep breaking!
*by D***R on February 22, 2024*

I bought this set of foot pedals in 2013 and used them very often until 2022 when they just stopped working. I figured it's been nine years, so I guess it's time to buy new ones. So I spent another $100 or so to buy new ones which only lasted one year. They broke again in June of 2023. GRRR. Every time they just stop working, I have to miss several days of work until the new ones get here. The third set of food pedals only lasted eight months. I am doing nothing differently since the first set I bought in 2013. In fact, I probably use them less. The little prongs inside the USB port break off so they won't connect to my laptop. I don't know if they are being more cheaply made or something, but I think it's expensive to have to spend $100 (now every eight months) to have working foot pedals to do my job. When they work, they do work great without any problems. I just wish I knew why the USB port keeps breaking and wish there was a way to repair the broken USB. Of course, it's outside the window for returns. So I went straight to the manufacturer website this time to order my FOURTH set and hoping it lasts a little longer than a few months!
