Harry, I am not an Audacity user. I just happened to download it yesterday
and am trying to learn it. And the answer is no. The commands are not the
same. I haven't gotten very far yet, but there seem to be a lot of
differences. So, I can sede why you might be hesitant to learn a new tool.

Hi Neal,
Does Audacity use the same windows key commands Studio recorder uses?

be what you want it to be. It's not the reason it was written, it is
not the way it is used by its users, and the many people who use it
for talking book purposes will not be able to train new people on all
the functions you want. And, do you want to pay $400 or whatever it
would cost to do all you want to do. If you only want to use one, I
would start work getting very familiar with Audacity.

Hi Pete and all,
We should have choices, but a person should not have to use 2 programs
to do audio production, and, they should not have to learn 2 programs
to do audio production, as well.
So, let's get studio recorder to have the features Audacity does, and
then, everybody will only need to use Studio Recorder, and not Audacity.

I don't know what version of Audacity you were using, but in the
latest versions there is a comprehensive manual under the Help pull
down menu. The latest version is version 2.1.2 and can be downloaded
http://www.audacityteam.org/with a keyboard, but it certainly is functional.
An overview of accessibility for different operating systems can be
found
at:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/accessibility.html
On that page there is also a link to using Audacity with JAWS. That

I use Audacity in conjunction with Studio Recorder. Studio Recorder
is optimized for use via the keyboard and is extremely easy to use
with a screen reader. On the other hand, Audacity has a number of
features that can be very useful and are not contained in Studio
Recorder (such as the Noise Reduction effect, ability to import and
export almost any file format, support for multiple audio tracks,
etc.). Besides being very easy to use with keyboard commands, the
best thing I like about Studio Recorder is the ability to easily put
place markers throughout a track and label each of these place
markers with some comments. I haven't found Audacity quite as
intuitive to use
Anyway, at least we have choices and multiple tools to do the job
that needs being done.

I wasn't happy with Audacity when I explored it. I was discouraged
because I couldn't find a manual, as I could with Studio Recorder. I
don't intend to start a debate; this isn't the place for it. Rather,
I'll say that SR is well worth the money, and the way it works makes
a great deal of sense to me. Having used it for over ten years, and
purchased it when it came out fifteen years ago, it's well worth the
money; it took five years to get around to starting to learn it; I
was just too busy with a hectic schedule at work, etc. I'm a fan forever!
There are functions I wish it had, but it's always met my needs for
podcasting and other audio editing.
