I have been happily using DSS Player with my RS26 foot pedal, but since upgrading to version 7.0.1 it no longer works. This is very odd because this footpedal is still available! What is the point of this software upgrade, if not to improve the Hardware sales for Olympus :(

What a rip! I spent an additional $200 on the foot pedal. And for them not to upgrade is a dirty way to drive incremental business. They just made my transcribing a pain in the arse. I would recommend finding a device company that doesn't rip you off less than two years after you buy their product. Not Olympus.Thursday, April 09 2009 @ 10:54 PM PDT

Thankfully, with Apple Time Machine, I was able to go back and simply restore my old dss player software, 6.2.1(E) and my foot pedal works again. Olympus gets a call in the morning and a piece of my mind. You can call them, too, at 1-888-553-4448, 8a-10p M-F EDT to complain long and loud.Thursday, April 09 2009 @ 11:33 PM PDT

I did exactly the same thing. Got the old software back through time machine and promptly called Olympus and told them where to put their product. And unless they change the BS with the pedal, I'm buying anything else next time around.Monday, April 27 2009 @ 03:05 PM PDT
