A WAVpedal is a PC-based transcriber consisting of a PC foot pedal and a software application that assists in the operation of the foot pedal. The device is used for converting digital audio recording of human voice to human-typed text.

History: Prior to the invention of the WAVpedal in 1990, no commercially-available PC transcribers existed. Transcription prior to 1990 was performed with either telephone-based transcribers or tape recorder-based transcribers.
