I needed this to work with Big Hand. From reading the reviews I wasn't sure whether it would work or not but it was a very good price compared to anything else so I decided to risk it. It was easy to set up and seemed to work OK but then it all went funny. However after switching everything off and restarting it's worked perfectly since - I think I just thoroughly confused it at the beginning by trying to change all the settings at the same time. It's been working perfectly with Big Hand for the last six months so I would recommend it for this purpose.

I am a Masters Student and spent the past couple of days slowly transcribing interviews for my research. After deciding that I needed to speed things up, I made the snap decision to purchase this foot pedal after investing in some transcribing software. What a joy. It arrived, and within a minute of unpacking, it was in place and doing its job. It couldn't have been easier.I have nothing to compare it to as I have never used anything like this before, but it feels good quality, it is very responsive and user-friendly. It doesn't take up a lot of room but is big enough for my feet to find the part of the pedal it needs to go forward, backwards stop or play.I am using it with Express Scribe, which can be bought as a bundle, but I didn't do this.

I bought the Infinity USB Foot Pedal (IN-USB-2) because I had moved to 64-bit Windows, killing my Olympus footswitch. The specifications don't say so, but this works fine in 64-bit Windows 7.Sturdy and heavy enough to stay put on the floor, USB drivers automatically load when you plug it in. No need for instructions really.The bad news is that it does not work with the software that Olympus provides with digital recorders.While the suggested software, NCH's ExpressScribe, is adequate, it lacks some of the features of Olympus's software. But it does add the ability to configure the footswitch to do what you want. I like the option to set the five-second "backspace". Thanks partly to this, the switch is easier to use than the Olympus switch that it replaces.At something like £12, it makes sense to go for the Pro version of ExpressScribe if you have any Olympus DSS files.This was delivered as quickly as possible. Ordered late Monday, despatched on Tuesday arrived by post on Wednesday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As an update to this, and in the light of a complaint here about having to pay for software, I thought it worth warning people against the practices of NCH Software, authors of Express Scribe. The program is not bad - or especially good - but installing it can land you in software hell.You do not have to pay for the free version of Express Scribe but it does invite you to buy an "improved" version. NCH also stomps all over your PC to such an extent that trying to open many types of files produces an invitation to download, install and buy yet more NCH software, most of which you will never need or want.I am constantly on the lookout for scam-free transcription software that works with this footswitch. Anything to reduce my use of NCH's products.

I had already downloaded, and without a foot pedal was struggling with, the great free transcription software Express Scribe. This was the foot pedal they suggested so I thought I would go for it.There are no instructions with the pedal, and to be honest there didn't need to be. Within a minute of opening the package I had plugged the USB cable into my computer and windows (vista in my case) had recognised the pedal and installed the drivers. I started Express Scribe and clicked on options and then controller. The program already knew that the pedal had been installed so all I had to do was click to tell it to use it. It was that simple and I was up and running in under a minute.The pedal itself is nice and weighty so it doesn't move around under foot. The pedals are comfortable to use. Audio typing is hell without one and this one seems to be good quality, simple to use and for a reasonable price.
