I use Express Scribe playback software for transcribing audio files of interviews. A couple of years ago, I bought a foot pedal with which the software should be able to be controlled (starting/stopping the playback). However, I cannot get it to work. The Express Scribe menu floats over the top of Microsoft Word. However, when I am typing in Microsoft Word, Express Scribe is deselected and the audio just plays in the background. I then have to click on it again with my mouse in order to regain control. Ideally, it would remain selected at all times over the top of the open Word document, and i could just control it with the pedal.

Any ideas?
