VLC Foot Pedal

VLC Foot Pedal version 1.0 is an innovative solution developed by PCDictate to transform the use of transcription foot pedals with VLC Media Player. While VLC Media Player by itself does not support transcription foot pedals, this software bridges that gap. The software falls under the Multimedia category and Editors & Converters subcategory, carrying a Shareware license.

Utilizing the program is straightforward: you plug in your USB foot pedal, start VLC Media Player, and open a supported media file to begin transcribing. The software enables the foot pedal to control playback functions such as start, stop, rewind, and fast forward, making transcription significantly more efficient. The program file names are vlcconfig.exe, and vlcfp.exe.

VLC Foot Pedal supports a variety of USB foot pedals, including the IN-USB-1, IN-USB-2, and Classy USB models. In addition, the software comes with comprehensive documentation and video tutorials to guide users through the setup and usage processes. It is important to note that this version is the latest 1.0, with no other versions currently available.

• Seamless integration of USB foot pedals with VLC Media Player.
• Broad support for various USB foot pedal models.
• Comprehensive documentation and video tutorials included.
• Enhanced transcription experience through efficient playback controls.
