Hi Andrew,
concerning the the wording issue. For menu items which are single options,
if the option is on, then for sighted users there is a check mark to the
left of the text, and screen readers add the word checked after text. It
isn't standard practice to include the text (on/off) in the text of these
options, but it seems to have been decided to include this in the menu
items in Audacity. I agree that this makes the text read out by screen
readers less than ideal.
David.

Hi David
Thanks for the link. Do I report issues here or can you give me the
appropriate address? I will mention them here anyway to see if other can
reproduce the bug I have found.
My first issue reflects my pedantry. There are quite a few menu items
where the text is:
On/off
or
On/off checked.
For example:
Overdub (on/off) checked.
I suggest simply:
Overdub on with or without the check.
The next one is a minor crash when setting timer recording. I have
checked on two machines, both running Windows 10 Creators and both with
NVDA 2017.3. The problem only occurs on one machine! If I arrow down past
0 hours I get the following error message:
..\..\src\msw\datetimectrl.cpp(95): assert "Assert failure" failed in
wxDateTimePickerCtrl::SetValue(): Setting the calendar date
unexpectedly failed.

Do you want to stop the program?
You can also choose [Cancel] to suppress further warnings.

For those of you who are interested in testing a beta version of Audacity
2.2.0, this is a link to the portable version of the beta:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.2.0-
beta-20170901.zip
If you want this version of Audacity to use its own separate settings,
then after you have extracted the files, in the folder that contains
Audacity.exe create a folder with the name Portable Settings.
For a summary of new features see:

2. A section in the introduction of my guide:

If you find any bugs, or have any comments about this new version, just
post them to this list,
David.
