Express Scribe is professional audio player software for PC designed to assist the transcription of audio recordings. A typist can install it on their computer and control audio playback using a transcription foot pedal or keyboard (with 'hot' keys). This transcribing software also offers valuable features for typists including variable speed playback, multi-channel control, playing video, file management, and more.

Useful Features:

• Variable speed playback (constant pitch).
• Supports audio and video playback.
• Plays most formats including encrypted dictation files.
• Supports professional USB foot pedals to control playback.
• Uses 'hotkeys' to control playback when transcribing into other software (e.g., Word).
• Dock both analog and digital portable voice recorders to load recordings.
• Works with Microsoft Word and all major word-processors.
• Automatically receives and loads files by internet (FTP), email or over a local computer network.
• Automatically sends typing to those who dictated the work.
• Works with speech recognition software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking to automatically convert speech to text.
• Load CD audio directly and start working as the audio loads.
• Works with FastFox text expander for entering medical/legal phrases and common phrases with keyboard shortcuts.

With professional foot pedals you increase your words per minute by giving your feet control of playback, leaving your fingers free to type. The pedals are "plug and play" which make them easy to install and use. There are three controls which are usually set up for rewind, play/pause and fast-forward.
