Got me flummoxed so far.

Install this and you'll never have an issue with connecting your footpedal again. Always connected - even if the browser is minimized ;-)! Great job!

Absolutely perfect for supporting Philips dictation hardware to work in SpeechLive. Persistent connection and freedom to have browser minimized while working in other application during playback or recording.
