Subject: Driver for Express Scribe Foot Pedal in Linux (Ubuntu)
How come there's no driver for Express Scribe Foot Pedal in Linux, specifically in Ubuntu 6.10? Anyone who knows how to convert the .dll below to .so? Can a Crossover or Wine emulator do something abt this? [b]Is there already a script or could you help me make a script on this?[/b] Kindly read the reply to my message below for more info. Thanks. ______________________________________________________________ Hi Marither, I'm sure that Wine (and therefore CrossOver) could provide a solution. However, someone has to be motivated to make that happen. Either a talented volunteer programmer, or the company that makes it, or someone who's willing to pay a lot of money to motivate a programmer to see it happen. That hasn't happened :-/.

I guess the best bet is the Linux Driver Project: http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view But there's the Express Scribe software: http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/linux.html Have you tried this?

And you should probably install a later and more up to date version of Ubuntu. You'll have better luck with drivers and Wine.
