Try selecting all, listening, and using the right bracket [one next to the backslash] when you reach the point at which you want to keep the audio. Stop and delete. That should do it.

Oh! thanks so much, I was using the wrong brackets!! I can now delete audio at the right of the right bracket if I hit shift+end. But I still can't manage to delete audio to the left of a cursor. I have tried inserting a left or right bracket, pressing shift+home and then delete, but nothing. Oh well. bJ On 15/07/2013, Thomas <mrnoisy98@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:You want a left bracket and right brackets. Not parentheses, brackets. these should be next to your p key. on 7/15/2013 7:42 AM, BJ Edwards wrote:Hi, I am running Windows 7 64bit with Jaws 12. I am using Audacity 2.03. I have tried the above and still nothing. I play the track, hit "p" for pause, hit "(" (shift+9) and press space to stop. I hit the cut command (ctrl+x) in a hope the audio to the right of the left bracket will go... but nothing happens. I've tried enclosing audio in brackets and hitting cut or delete, and nothing. The instructions seem so straight forward, but they just don't work! bJ On 14/07/2013, Thomas <mrnoisy98@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Which screen reader are you using, which version of audacity and on which platform? On linux, audacity is inaccessible [or was when I tried last December]. On windows it's quite good. When I was using JAWS, audacity and jaws had a bit of a ... interesting relationship. I find NVDA works quite well with it. To select,listen to the track up to where you want to delete, press the left bracket "[", then stop playback [with space], and start it again [this will allow you to ensure you are deleting from the right point]. Then, if you need to, use the same system as to start the selection, but with the right bracket "]". If you've made your first selection [and optionally a second, make sure the audio isn't playing, and press the delete key. on 7/15/2013 5:16 AM, BJ Edwards wrote:Hi all, I am so unbelievably frustrated! I have red the manual, followed the instructions, but no joy. All I am trying to do is edit a track. I play it, pause it, hit "(" and then "Del" in the hope everything on the right of the bracket will disappear.. it doesn't, nothing happens. Please, please show mercy and somebody help me before my laptop learns to fluy!
