Control playback FF and REW without taking your fingers off of the keyboard! *Please note: the RS-27 does NOT come with DSS software required to utilize this footswitch. If you need DSS software with footswitch functionality we recommend you purchase the PC Transcription Kit (AS-2400) or AS-4000 Transcription Kit. Both kits contain a version of the DSS software that has footswitch functionality the RS-27 footswitch and the E-102 headset. We recommend the AS-4000 kit for business transcription. The DSS Player Pro software included in the AS-4000 kit is geared for someone who needs to track the progress of multiple files or customers such as in an office situation. The software provided in the AS-2400 kit is geared for someone who usually transcribes for one person. DSS Player for Mac supplied with digital voice recorders or with the AS-2000 series AS-3000 series or AS-4000 series Transcription kits will support the RS-25 footswitch. For DS-320 or DS-150 users you can download and install a patch to use the RS-27 with DSS Player 3.1 or 3.5. To download the patch click here.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work as advertised, October 26, 2009

Having bought the RS27 foot switch we have discovered that it does not reverse more than a few is any seconds at a time and that it often will switch back to the very beginning of the voice document. This has made it extremely hard to work with and I long for the good old days when you bought something and it worked the first time. Call me old fashioned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great foot pedal for DSS Player 7, September 22, 2009

I've been doing freelance transcription for almost 10 years now, and this is the first time I've had to upgrade my foot pedal to a newer model. This one is replacing my old RS 25, which still works just fine, but to upgrade to the latest (and better) DSS player version 7, I had to upgrade my foot switch as well. This is pretty much the same thing...standard model with right rewind, left FF, and center play. It works well and had good plug and play functionality. No problems whatsoever. This seems to be another solid piece of equipment, and I'll use it for years to come...at least until they make me upgrade again to use a new version of the player.

1.0 out of 5 stars NEEDS CERTAIN TYPE OF SOFTWARE TO WORK, January 10, 2008

This Foot Switch will only work if you have a certain type of Olympus DSS Player Software, not just any version. Just make sure you know which software you have or need to purchase before purchasing this foot switch to make it work. I thought a foot switch was a footswitch but apparently not. Do your homework. The sellers do not mention this fact which I think is a mistake. It should say it take software to make it work and not only software but a certain software.
