ukfan78 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I need to purchase a Foot Pedal for my Intro to Transcription class. I am not getting a degree in Transcription though, so I don't want to spend a lot of money on a pedal that I will only be using for 5 months. The one available at my school's bookstore is $145! I KNOW I can get one cheaper! However, I don't know ANYTHING about the pedals, but I know I don't need anything fancy. It needs to be USB, and have play, fast-forward, and rewind. If it helps any, the textbook we will be using is Hillcrest Medical Center, Beginning Medical Transcription Course, 6/e, with Audio CD, by Ireland and Novak. If ANYONE knows anything about transcription and pedals, can you please give me a recommendation for a decent foot pedal to get through this required class? I want to spend $100 or less....the cheaper the better without getting junk. Thanks!
ilgetumipretty Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I used to work at a law firm and we would order pedals and other items like that from Office Max. Try looking somewhere like that or Staples, Office Depot, etc. HTH and good luck!!
jbrawn26 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 http://www.pcdictate.com/USB_Foot_Pedals_s/25.htm I do not know anything about this place, but the prices seem reasonable and they also have kits with the headsets or just the foot pedal alone.
rachealb Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I am a transcriptionist and the pedals we use are very specific to the program used so I would make sure to look out for that. They are very pricey. Some of the pedals require a little adapter type thing from Radio Shack also. Try Ebay for sure- I have saved a lot getting items on there and amazon sometimes has things like stedmans books so you might get lucky and find pedals there.
