Hi all,
I am going to try to teach a little about digital recording to one or two of my
piano students. Phil suggested either Audacity or Studio recorder. He just
doesn't like the keystrokes for performing functions in Audacity. Since you
guys are Audacity users, I thought I would ask a couple of questions here.
Are there any special setup requirements for getting started with Audacity? One
of my students is pretty okay with jaws and other screen readers. The other is
learning nvda and narrator. And what about any special set files for jaws or
nvda?
II realize that a lot of my questions are probably answered in the help files
for Audacity. I just want to make sure that their speech program is channeled
properly to keep speech out of their recordings. So is just simply downloading
and installing Audacity the first step to do?
Since I’m the teacher, I need to also be learning in advance of each lesson.
So here we go! Just one more program to learn.
Thanks,
John

Vitor, you can read playback and recording time in Audacity without an add-on,
albeit that a few extra keystrokes are initially involved. From the tracks
view, press control-f6 to get to the selection toolbar (make sure it is checked
under View/Toolbars). Tab to Audio Position.
Reading the current line will present all details or you can use NVDA's review
commands to focus on seconds, minutes or hours (depending on your Audacity
settings). While focused on that dialog, you can still start/stop playing or
recording and pause.
As a bytheway, I am fairly certain it also works with JAWS but is problematic
with Window-Eyes, I think due to different video cards. In fact, if using
Window-Eyes it is necessary on some computers to uncheck the selection toolbar
to prevent very sluggish behaviour.

Can any of you tell me if it is possible to check how long we are recording?
Is there a key stroke that tells us: you are recording for 1 hour and
2 minuts for instance. Thanks for any information. I haven't found
that in the manual.
