+#T7
+
+HID foot pedal controlled transcription application.
+
+## Build
+
+$ cd T7
+
+$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release ../
+
+$ make -j4
+
+## Usage
+
+Udev's facilities are used here. A group with read/write access to the 
+device must be created, with users added to that group.
+
+$ groupadd transcript
+$ usermod -a -G transcript user
+
+Create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-mypedal.rules with (one single line) :
+KERNEL=="hidraw[0-9]*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="abcd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="efgh",  
+MODE="0660", GROUP="transcript"
+
+Get 'abcd' and 'efgh' with 'lsusb' command or 'dmesg |tail' commands 
+after plugging the foot pedal.
+
+Remove the pedal device and plug it again. On next login, users in group 
+'transcript' should have read access to the device.
+
+##### T7 configuration:
+
+Open the two nested collapsible panes at the bottom of the main window.
+
+Select the foot pedal device.
+
+Identify each of the three pedals in turn.
+
+Restart the application.
+
+Declare pedal roles.
+
+Choose an automatic rewind duration on pause.
+
+Select a root media directory.
+
+Refresh the list.
+
+Double click on an item.
+
+Use the pedals.
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+Programming is just my hobby, use at your own risks.
+
+T7 does not claim to be fit for any purpose.
+
+## Limitations
+
+Not designed for devices with less or more than three pedals.
+Developed on Linux, other operating systems are not a target.
