Our WAVpedal 7 software is a simple, easy-to-use interface that allows you to control the playback of WAV, Sony MSV, Sony DVF, BCB/PC Dart, Digital Voice VoicePower, MP3, Olympus DSS, Voice-It SRI, Microsoft Network, Voxware, and Windows Media files on your computer with our foot pedal. The pedal control of voice files allows you to easily type into your word processor while listening to the voice all from your PC. No need for transcription equipment.
Installation and use of this digital transcription equipment is quick and easy. You simply point and click on the sound file you want to play and WAVpedal® will load your word processor automatically and associate your selected file with your word processor file.
You are then ready to transcribe or listen to this file and control playback of this digital transcription software with the foot pedal. The interface allows you to raise the volume of the file, or lower it. Also, you can make it go slower so you can listen to those very fast dictators at a slower rate, and you can make it play faster for QA listening. The foot pedal has rewind and fast forward speeds and is available in Serial port or USB configurations. And, the sound quality is outstanding.
WAVpedal® is a 32-bit and 64-bit application.
Screen Captures
This is the WAVpedal® interface that you will see on your screen after installation. It has all the features on it a mouse click away that any transcriptionist will need. After configuring the foot pedal to your liking, you can do hands-free transcription from your PC.
These screen captures show you some of the controls that you are able to set from within WAVpedal®.
This is the screen from which you can FTP files.
WAVpedal® Communications enables FTP transfers to and from FTP Sites. It runs outside of WAVpedal and may be started from its icon or by having WAVpedal® load it automatically when WAVpedal® is run. You can configure as many FTP Sites as you need.
AutoPlay is a feature that lets you automatically load specific files from folders that you select. You can save a lot of time and effort by not needing to hunt for your next file to play.
