Using our affordable foot pedals makes you up to 30% faster when transcribing interviews, movies or dictations. Our foot pedals are as easy to use as the foot pedals from the days of tape recorders and you simply connect them to your Windows PC or Macintosh computer via USB. All of our foot pedals come with a 3-year guarantee. For the development of the USB foot pedals, we were awarded with the “Hessischer Gründungspreis”, a German business start-up award, in 2009.
This is how our foot pedals work: Plug in the foot pedal, download & install our free transcription software, f4 (Win) or f5 (Mac). Use f4 or f5 to open your audio or video file. When pushing down the foot pedal, the file will begin playing. When you lift your foot off of the pedal, the recording pauses and automatically rewinds in a small, customizable interval. Tapping on the foot pedal repeatedly rewinds the recording. You can transcribe your data directly in f4, f5 or in any word processing program of your choice.

*f4 for Windows PCs plays all video and audio files which can be opened in the VLC media player (version 1.1.11). f5 for Macs plays all audio and video files which can be opened in the Quicktime player. The ‘science’ and ‘office’ models of our pedals can also be used to control programs such as Express Scribe.
Science II is comfortable to use and affordable, which makes it the ideal tool for anyone transcribing audio or video data. It is compatible with Macintosh and Windows computers. With f4 (version 4.2 and above) or f5 (version 1.5 and above) installed on your computer, simply plug it in and begin transcribing. You can use the foot pedal in f4, f5 or when transcribing in word processing software.
The Science I foot pedal is sturdy and especially quiet when used. It works with f4, f5 or Express Scribe by plug & play. When ordering, choose whether you want your foot pedal pre-programmed for Windows (f4) or Mac (f5).
Science I can “learn” how to control many other programs. On our website www.f-pro.de [5] we show you how to use your foot pedal with other applications. Also, check out the other pedals and buzz buttons we offer! We have sold over 20,000 Science foot pedals and it received a MacLife recommendation in 2007 and 2010.
This kit consists of a robust 3-button USB foot pedal, a set of headphones, and our free transcription software f4 and f5 (downloadable). The foot pedal Office is a highly professional and sturdy tool, suitable for daily use in the office.
No matter if you use a Mac or Windows computer, fast forwarding, rewinding, stopping and resuming the recording in MS word and other word processing software is easy and convenient. With our Office foot pedal, well-trained typists can work even faster than with our single-button foot pedals.
