The headset is very uncomfortable and the footpedal will not work with the program I need it for. I’ve been transcribing for 31 years and I am not happy about this product at all.

I don’t usually bother to write these things because I’m don’t expect much from products made today. They usually work for a while and then break and I go on. But I have had nothing but issues with this package since I purchased it for the office. The problem is that for no known reason, while typing in WORD and using the foot pedal, the audio file that I am transcribing suddenly jumps back to start. It happens randomly and without apparent cause. I spent hours on the phone with customer service (who were very, very friendly, if not always knowledgeable)only to have a product that makes me so angry I usually just give up. I’ve even upgraded to the most recent software package and changed the setting as per instructed to help resolve the issue, but it continues. I’ve tried it on different computers and with different staff members. We do not have this issue with our Olympus digital transcribing kit.

This product is great in theory, but so far I haven’t been able to use it. It does not appear to be compatible with my Sony ICD-UX71 digital voice recorder. It might have been nice if someone had told me that before I bought the thing. Inside the box, in tiny letters, it says the transcription system is only compatible with ICD-ST, SX, MS, BM, BP and P series Sony recorders. So now I guess I have to spring for a new recorder as well. The system looks simple enough if you have a compatible recorder. The foot pedal plugs right into your computer. I’m looking forward to seeing how well it works with Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software.

When I bought the product I had high hopes for what it would do. I am master’s student trying to transcribe my interviews for my thesis. I wanted a product to take my recorder interviews and turn them into written word. This software does not do that. All the software does is allow for you speed up, stop and rewind a recording with your foot. This foot pedal somewhat eases the process but if you did not use a Sony IC recorder the software will not read anything that is not a .wav file. My recorder of course saves the audio files as .wma. So I then had to download conversion software!! The headphones provided with the software and foot pedal are of poor quality especially for the price the product costs. I ended up having to combine the transcription software with Dragon Naturally Speaking to transcribe my interview. It has been a big hassle. I would not recommend this item for if you are expecting a faster and more efficient process.
