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 :-/.

Cheers,

Jeremy

&gt;
&gt;
&gt; Supporting your own Pedals with a Pedal Driver DLL
&gt; If you are a manufacturer or distributor of pedals and want your pedals
&gt; to work directly you can write a driver dll. Just install the dll in the
&gt; Windows/System32 folder and Express Scribe will automatically detect
&gt; them when it next runs.
&gt; Note: The information which follows is intended for professional
&gt; programmers only. If you are not a professional programmer, please
&gt; retain one to build the dll for you.

                        I guess the best bet is the Linux Driver Project:
http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view

But there's the Express Scribe software:

Have you tried this?<p class="hiddensignature">

                        And you should probably install a later and more up to date version of Ubuntu. You'll have better luck with drivers and Wine.<p class="hiddensignature">
