    Does anyone know where I can purchase a foot pedal to attach to a computer for transcription? I have tried the following places already:

    Ace Logic
    Lee Plaza
    POS Marketing
    (corner store next to POS that sells computers)
    (store just past Jollibee -- forget the name, Digital something?)

    Someone at POS suggested Robinsons - I'll try there tomorrrow at the computer stores....

    Foot pedal needed for transcription work -- any ideas? I may have to order online, but I'd rather get it now than later.

    Thanks for any ideas/suggestions/leads!

    The law firms I used to work for in the states would get the pedal with the transcription software they purchased. I know that does not answer your question directly but perhaps it will give you another direction to head in your search.

    Thank you, Tom -- you are correct! (and you are a law firm "ex" as well, eh?). I downloaded a transcription program called "Express Scribe," which works very well, but I need to get a pedal rather than using the function keys to stop/start, etc.
