Foot Pedal

The first time you run this application you will be asked to install a FootPedalServer native library. This will only work on Windows OS. If you do not have the foot pedal then just skip the installation of the library. We support the Infinity USB Footpedal available from Aaaprice, Sylvan and Xkeys.

Using the ListenUp Transcription Controls

Play Button

Activate either by clicking the graphic button with the mouse or by depressing and holding the PLAY pedal on the foot controller.

While playing, you may vary the speed of the playback using the graphic scrollbar, slowing the playback down to 70% its normal speed, or speeding it up to 120% its normal speed.  Moving the scrollbar while fast forwarding or rewinding will not affect fast forward or rewind speed; it sets playback speed only.

Fast Forward

Activate either by clicking the graphic button with the mouse or by depressing and holding the FWD pedal on the foot controller. Clicking the graphic fast forward button during fast forward play advances to the next fast forward speed.

The speeds are:

1. 150% faster than original speed
2. 200% faster than original speed
3. 300% faster than original speed
4. Skip mode: skips forward rapidly, playing little bits of audio at normal speed. This emulates fast forward in CD and DVD players. Clicking the graphic button again while in skip mode drops the speed down to 150% again, cycling from the beginning again. The fast forward button remembers that last speed it was set at.

Rewind

Activate either by clicking the graphic button with the mouse or by depressing and holding the REW pedal on the foot controller. Clicking the graphic rewind button during rewind playback advances to the next rewind speed.

The speeds are:

1. 150% faster than original speed
2. 200% faster than original speed
3. 300% faster than original speed
4. Skip mode: skips backwards rapidly, playing little bits of audio at normal speed. This emulates rewind in CD and DVD players. Clicking the graphic button again while in skip mode drops the speed down to 150% again, cycling from the beginning again. The rewind button remembers that last speed it was set at.
