Hi Hettie,


Welcome aboard! The only wrong question about NVDA is the one that you fail to ask here.  You're in the right place and all's gravy!


To get additional help with audacity, Here are a few links that should get you on the right track.

Hi Listers

I am new to this List and not sure yet what may be discussed and what not.

Nvda is my only screen reader and I work with Windows 10.

I need assistance with Audacity recording stuff from an old tape recorder.

Current questions include which version of Audacity to use; how to determine the volume at which I am recording.

Do you know a blind group specifically for new Audacity users?

Thanks


Hettie
