[bcab] Re: USB cassette decks

The Ion Tape2PC USB deck comes with Ordacity for the PC and Mac and also EZ Tape recording software for PC only. I know Ordacity for the PC is accessible but I've never tried it to know how good it is. The question is is EZ Tape accessible? I doubt there'll be any accessibility issues with the hardware as you just plug it in without even needing to install drivers.
It may be helpful to try to find blind users of EZ Tape to see if it is accessible. Either way Ordacity is accessible and users of that can tell you how it stands on quality and usability. 

Just my thoughts

Hi Eleanor. Possibly a USB cassette deck could be used to record stuff but I certainly wouldn't choose to do this myself personally as I wouldn't want to create recordings on cassette anymore. For me, cassette tape is history as a useful medium. What I am interested in is digitising matter on old cassettes i.e. playing it into the computer thence to be stored and played as MP3 files or on CD or whatever. 
Regards and happy new year.

Tim would this mean that the USB tape deck or whatever could then be used to record, say a programme on the radio to the tape? I know you would say about Listen again etc, but I am thinking of a friend who is often interviewed and I record via the Internet. However I am not using a direct lead.

Hello Everyone. A couple of weeks ago here there was a thread about USB turn tables and someone said they used a USB tape deck. Can anyone recommend a good make or model plus where to get it from? Thank you very much. 
Regards
