I'm
actually using it right now! (Well, not right now, right now...right now,
I'm writing to you.) But it's amazing the wide variety of programs with
which it's compatible. I've had success not only with Windows Media Player
and RealPlayer (with which your page said it would be compatible), but
also with Nero ShowTime, the VLC Open Source Media Player, and several
others I've tested. Although it is not THE ultimate solution for what
I need it to do (as mentioned, I translate scripts from the Japanese and
rewrite them in English, requiring me to view the same snippets over and
over and over to get the "flaps" or mouth movements matched
exactly to dialogue), I'm positive that it's the next best thing.
I can't tell you
how grateful I am for all your assistance. Because it arrived a few days
ago, I was able to use it for a TV script I had due, and after this I'll
go back to retranslating subtitles for another series. (You have to listen
to the same segment over and over to get the proper translation.) With
the vPedal hooked up, I can run a full-screen video on a "mirrored"
monitor off my Vaio laptop. It's like I have a professional editing suite...and
I can't tell you how cool that is.
So, thank you, for
this incredibly useful, stupidly time-saving, and wonderfully versatile
gadget.

I just received
a vPedal and am absolutely thrilled! I want to thank you for this awesome
piece of equipment.
I am a transcriptionist, and I transcribe material that is used for production
of several television broadcasts. I was using an analog transcriber that
recorded only the audio on audio cassette tapes. This worked fine, but
since my transcripts are used for television production, it would be much
more efficient and accurate to transcribe directly from video.
The vPedal makes this possible, and it is so much better to transcribe
directly from the video. I record the material I need to transcribe using
the Windows Media Recorder, and then replay it through the vPedal launcher.
It has made my job so much easier and much more accurate, because if there
is a problem understanding the audio, I can use the vPedal to rewind and
look at the video, which 99.9% of the time clarifies what's been said.
The vPedal works just the same as a transcribing machine that transcriptionists
use, but has the added benefit of being able to see the video I'm transcribing.
This is an excellent benefit for transcriptionists who work with television
or movie production. It is also excellent for transcriptionists who transcribe
from audio, since you can use it through, for example, Express Scribe,
and you don't have to store a lot of audio tapes and have a transcriber
on your desk.
I can't thank you enough for the vPedal. I've been praying that someone
would invent a way to transcribe directly from video, and God answered
my prayer through the vPedal. I thank God for you. Keep up the good work,
and God bless you!

To whom it may concern:
I just received the footpedal and used it with the Real One plug in for
video transcription. I've been looking for a replacement for the system
as I've been having so many problems with it that it's become unreliable.
I also use it with Express Scribe which is great because there are greater
options for different file formats which other systems don't contain.
I have a small transcription company and I am now recommending it to others...
such as subcontractors looking for work but do not have a digital transcription
system yet and with another company I've subcontracted with for several
years to pass on to their other subcontractors.
Thank you,

I'm
loving it. I teach phonetics and for my Spanish majors who need to improve
their pronunciation, I have them record digital files and I correct them.
The vPedal has made it so much easier.
My wife
has been complaining about her foot pedal, which she uses to control the
"DSS player" software. ("It's not as responsive as my old
analog foot pedal and tape player; the fast forward and rewind pedals
are too close" were her major complaints.) So, I brought the vPedal
home from school to see if it would work with the "DSS player."
As I suspected, it wouldn't. So I converted the files to AIFF format so
that Quicktime would play them and I went to "vPedal.com" to
download the software to her computer and I jumped with delight when I
saw the variable speed in the preferences. "This could be perfect
for you," I exclaimed.
It is working like
a charm. She loves it. It is responsive, the fast forward and pause and
rewind work beautifully; the speed increase is perfect--at least for the
doctor she's been working on for the past few hours. She is delighted,
and so am I.
Knowing that I had
requested this feature, and when we saw on your website: varispeed for
transcriptionists, she said, "you'd better write to thank them."
Thank you so much.
