Hi,
I would like to recommend a great sound recorder called virtual recorder.
It is very easy to download and install, and very accessible. When you launch
it, you can record your voice with a built in mike, record sounds straight from
the sound card, or both. So, it does very well with recording pod casts, because
it records your voice great, and it records a screen reader directly from the
sound card at the same time, so your voice and screen reader come through loud
and clear. There is a record button, stop, pause, and you can record in many
formats like MP3, for example. The problem with Voice recorder in win10, is that
you only have the choice of recording in a M4A format that is unique to win10.
Very few players can play the files that you record with that program. Virtual
recorder saves your recordings in a folder that you choose as soon as you stop
the recording. The recordings are so clear I have done with it, and it does not
take up much room on your computer. There is even a portable version that can
run from a USB flash drive. Just type in Virtual Recorder in your search like
Google, and you will get a site to download it. You may be able to download it
from:
If not, just do a search for it. I absolutely love it. Take care.

New Member (5) Also, will people please change subject lines when
the thread changes to the point where it has nothing to do with the original
subject. The subject line still says new member and the discussion is now
about audio recorders. I'm not saying that people should change subject
lines if the topic still is reasonably related to the original but this isn't
even remotely related.
I am changing the subject line in this thread with
this message.

If the sound recorder program in Windows 10 is like
the one in Windows 7, it's almost worthless. In the Windows 7 program, you
can't edit and it records in the MP3 format as I recall. I know you can't
choose formats and I know it’s a lossy format. Whether ogg or MP3, its so
limited that it's more like a toy.
I don't recall if it even has a pause button and if
it resumes recording or overwrites the file if you stop and start it. What
program did you used to use? If you used the old XP sound recorder, that
may still work in Windows 10. I got it to work in Windows 7. I can
suggest programs to use to create a podcast file and edit it. For example,
you might use a program I have to record the podcast file and then edit with Mp3
Direct Cut. Both programs will produce MP3 files but, for reasons I won't
go into now, it's better to use one program I can discuss for editing and MP3
Direct Cut for editing.

The sound recorder in Windows 10 is called voice recorder. Search for it by using the search feature which you can access by pressing ctrl+escape. It is accessible. -----Original Message----- From: nvda@nvda.groups.io [mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io] On Behalf Of Jolene Cardenas Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2016 12:42 PM To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: Re: [nvda] New Member (5) Hello once more, Thank you for your responses, for I enjoyed reading them a lot! Further specs: My Web browser is the latest version of Firefox (even though a sighted friend told me that Google Chrome was better), my default media player is Windows Media Player 12 (not The Groove Music from Windows 10), and Gmail is the only e-mail source I use. Since Windows 10 doesn't come with the Sound Recorder program like how previous versions of Windows does, I'm missing it a lot because I use it for Podcasting and other projects. Can any Windows 10 user recommend any sound-recording program that would work well with it + NVDA? I'd appreciate your feedback so much. Just FYI: I have no usable vision in both eyes to read large print so I'm totally dependent on NVDA to do all my reading out loud for me. Take care, and have a good day. sincerely, Jolene.
