Review: Express Scribe Compatible Philips USB Foot Control - 2310 - 2320

For years now transcriptionists around the world have been using Express Scribe, the free software from NCH Swift Sound. Able to take just about any audio format you throw at it (on Windows) Scribe is the software of choice for many transcription typists.

For those who come from an analogue transcription typing background or those who spend hours transcription typing they will prefer to use Scribe with a transcription foot control. Connected via USB the foot pedal allows the typist to control the audio playback via pedals on the foot control.

Some of the best USB foot controls which are Express Scribe compatible are the 2310 and 2320 from Philips Dictation. With no software required, these plug and play foot controls can be connected and working with Express Scribe in under a minute.

With a great ergonomic look and feel the Philips pedals do come in a little higher in price than the cheaper two pedal USB foot controls like the VEC. But you get what you pay for and with a big name in the digital dictation and transcription world like Philips Dictation you know that it will be a pedal you can use day in and day out for years to come.
