as with so many programs, a lot of what you do are program commands.
Audacity commands for play, record, and for editing are program commands.
As in so many cases, if you know how to use a program, you can do a good
deal with it regardless of screen-reader. Many people use Gold Wave and
Audacity with NVDA. At times, JAWS may have scripts that allow you to do
more or do some things more easily. At times, NVDA may have been nodified
to allow it to work more fully or in an automated way with a program.
You can often learn a lot from tutorials or a written guide written for
blind users regardless of which screen-reader they may have been written
for.

If you know your screen-readers commands such as read current line, etc. and
how to review the screen. you can use a lot of program commands and look at
the screen if you don't get automatic readout.

I don't know what you want to do with these programs. I did a basic
tutorial for Audacity explaining how to edit and the basics of the program.
the program has some new features that weren't covered and one of them might
be very useful in editing. But you will get a good basic knowledge of how
to edit and play and record. I can find a download link if you want it.
Others may make other suggestions such as the written user Guide to the
program with JAWS. I believe that more advanced users may find this to be
useful but it is very densely written, more like a manual and I think most
beginner users are far better off using an actual tutorial with oral
instructions and demonstrations.

Hi,
I wish there was more readily available documentation for using such
sound recorders and audio editors with NVDA, not those which only
record, but those which allow their modification and improvement.
I have given up on Goldwave for the time being, and am working on
trying to figure out Audacity with a Skype friend.
Thanks.

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:
www.ninite.com
If not, just do a search for it. I absolutely love it. Take care.

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.

Hi,

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.

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.
