Cannot find "setup" in Express Scribe

The welcome message says that in order to use my foot pedal, I have to use the foot pedal setup wizard which I can find my going to settings. I've been all over the software and cannot find either "setup" or a foot pedal setup wizard.

See if this Ai summary helps...

The correct steps to set up your foot pedal in Express Scribe are:

Click on the "Options" tab in the Express Scribe toolbar.
Select "Controller" from the dropdown menu.
In the "Pedals" tab, click on "Controller Setup Wizard".
Make sure the "Enable Foot Pedal Controller" box is checked.
Follow the wizard's prompts to configure your foot pedal.

The setup wizard will guide you through the process of detecting your foot pedal and mapping the pedal functions. You can customize the commands for each pedal (left, middle, and right) to actions like fast-forward, play, and rewind.

If you're still unable to find these options, ensure you're using a recent version of Express Scribe. Also, make sure your foot pedal is properly connected to your computer's USB port before starting the setup process..

Okay, so that's the problem. There is no "pedals" tab in Controller under options, or anywhere else for that matter. Thanks though. It should be a recent version because I downloaded it from the site today, but I will double check.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Your last line makes me wonder. If the foot pedal isn't properly plugged in to the USB port, will that make the pedals tab not show up? I will have to check to see if my pedal is working. Thanks again.
