Hi Frank,
the nightly builds of audacity are more accessible for macs. Choose the latest
build from this page:
http://www.audacity.homerow.net/index.php?dir=mac/&sort=date&order=desc ;
As far as I'm aware there's no problem mentioning other audio editors on this
list. Indeed, pointing out how other editors make things more accessible might
be useful information for audacity development.
David.

Hi.
Could somebody please tell me how to find the Mac accessible version please?
When I upgraded to Lion the old version for Mac wouldn't work for me
at all which might have been my fault or it might have been the simple
fact I upgraded the operating system.
I simply couldn't get any version of version 1 or 2 to work and I
should point out I use zoom much more than I use voice over although
I'm very familiar with voice over keystrokes.
I love audacity but stopped using it in favour of another audio
program I had better not mention here because this is an audacity list
after all.
Any help with finding the mac accessible version will be appreciated
so thanks in advance.
