Review: Worst transcription pedal ever - While I love my Olympus digital recorder, and this is the only food pedal I could find that works with its software, this pedal is just horribly designed. First, the main center part of the pedal for "play" is not big enough--it is barely as wide as my (mens' size 6) shoe--so every time you lift your foot to hit rewind, if you don't put it back RIGHT on the center, you will hit rewind or FF again by mistake. BIG PROBLEM--this is the very core of what the pedal is for! I find I have to keep scooting back and looking down at my shoe to see where it is on the pedel. The only solution to this is to take off your shoe and only use the pedal with your sock, so you can feel the ridges of where the play pedel ends and the raised rewind and FF foot buttons being. The second problem that blows my mind is the rewind is on the RIGHT and the fast forward is on the LEFT! HUH? Why in the world would they reverse these from their instinctive locations? Third, the price is just ridiculous. If you think you can buy the pedal alone with a different part/model number you find elsewhere, think again--you must have the CD that comes with this pedal to unlock the foot pedal capability within the Olympus software--without the CD, the software that came with your recorder will not recognize the food pedal. All that being said, it does work when you take off your shoe, and, it's the only option out there that I could find. Review: Great product! - I am a doctoral student and I purchased this to help me transcribe hours and hours of interviews myself. I spent a lot of time researching recording/transcription equipment and liked the reviews on the olympus products. This kit is very easy to use and plugs right into my laptop. I also bought the Olympus digital voice recorder (WS-310M)which has incredible memory and quality recordings, and radio shack helped me out with a telephone adapter for phone use as well. I have not done transcribing before and this made it manageable. I highly recommend it. ## Features - Kit includes DSS Player software, footpedal, and stereo headset - Included software helps convert DSS files to waveform (.wav) and other formats - Footpedal controls file playback - Stereo headset connects directly to the computer soundcard - Perfect for use with Olympus digital recorders ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00092D7E0 | | Brand | OM SYSTEM | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 3.0 out of 5 stars 15 Reviews | | Format | WAV | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050332152427 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware interface | USB | | Item Weight | 2.1 Pounds | | Item weight | 2.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Olympus | | Mfr Part Number | 147475 | | Microphone Form Factor | Built-In | | Microphone Operation Mode | Stereo | | Microphone form factor | Built-In | | Model Number | 147475 | | UPC | 050332152427 | ## Product Details - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer - **Brand:** OLYMPUS - **Hardware interface:** USB - **Microphone form factor:** Built-In - **Format:** WAV ## Images ![OM SYSTEM Olympus AS-2300 PC Transcription Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91X6+h2aJHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Worst transcription pedal ever *by B***N on 4 November 2008* While I love my Olympus digital recorder, and this is the only food pedal I could find that works with its software, this pedal is just horribly designed.

I spent a lot of time researching recording/transcription equipment and liked the reviews on the olympus products. This kit is very easy to use and plugs right into my laptop. I also bought the Olympus digital voice recorder (WS-310M)which has incredible memory and quality recordings, and radio shack helped me out with a telephone adapter for phone use as well. I have not done transcribing before and this made it manageable. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine but skimpy manual *by P***Y on 11 November 2008* Not bad at all. Nice solid construction, works like it should. Setup is simple, but a more detailed manual would not hurt. One snag in setup process was that you need to use the DSS Player serial number supplied in the box for the pedal to work - software itself is identical to what you probably already have installed, but you'll need to uninstall and then reinstall using new serial number. Very annoying, and documented nowhere. Also, just to keep you on our toes, the right pedal is rewind, and the left pedal is fast forward. If you're typing in Arabic or Hebrew that might seem commonsensical, but otherwise it's a-backwards. [In the next iteration of the software I imagine the little black square will mean play, the red circle will mean stop and the little black arrow will mean record.] But again, at the end of the day everything works fine. I'd buy it again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/290064245-om-system-olympus-as-2300-pc-transcription-kit](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/290064245-om-system-olympus-as-2300-pc-transcription-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
