A dictation foot pedal gives you a physical push-to-talk trigger for voice input. Press with your foot, dictate into DictaFlow, and keep your hands on your keyboard, mouse, chart, code editor, or document.
Built for modern dictation, not old playback controls
Most foot pedals sold as transcription pedals were designed for pausing and rewinding audio. The DictaFlow USB Dictation Foot Pedal is for a different job: triggering live speech-to-text in the app where you are already working.
Best uses
- Medical notes and charting workflows
- Legal drafting and client emails
- Developer prompts, code comments, and documentation
- Long emails, notes, and knowledge work
- Hands-free dictation for RSI and reduced keyboard strain
Why a pedal helps
Dictation only sticks when it is faster than typing and lower friction than switching apps. A foot pedal removes one tiny bit of friction every time you speak. Over a full workday, that matters.
How it works with DictaFlow
- Plug in the USB pedal.
- Map it to a keyboard shortcut.
- Set that shortcut as your DictaFlow trigger.
- Press the pedal, speak, release, and DictaFlow types into the active app.
