What users have to say.... pc users 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 timesaving, and wonderfully versatile gadget.
Trish L I just received
a vPedal and am absolutely thrilled! I want to thank you for this awesome
piece of equipment. To whom it may concern: a mac user 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. Richard S
