Is anyone using a USB device with Wine? In my search for a solution to my transcription software problem I finally found the instructions for correctly installing Express Scribe with Wine. I got the program running this time and successfully loaded an audio file and can play it. The next step is to have it work with the USB foot pedal. Express Scribe can do this, but it needs the correct driver for the USB pedal. My Googling suggests that Wine doesn't do USB, yet, but that it can do it with a couple of patches. That instruction is on a page from 2008, which makes me suspicious that it's out of date. The page is:
http://wiki.winehq.org/USB There is another page that suggests that this is still the way to get USB support in Wine: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=13325&sid=7925fbf58174ed5f23f9206d46f192eb So, before I uninstall Wine, download the source, add the patch(es), and compile it, I thought I'd see if anyone else has had success with it. Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
