If you set the source as microphone, your screen-reader won't be recorded directly. It will be recorded by the microphone. To avoid this, if it matters enough to stop, you can use headphones. There is no reason to set any duration. If you don't set one, the recording will continue until you run out of room on the hard drive. That is the limit on how long you can record. I believe that the fat32 file system imposes a limit on how large files can be. I would think it is very likely you are using the NTFS file system so that limit doesn't apply. But when you export the recording to another format, such as mp3, don't use the wave format. The wave format takes an enormous amount of room and there is a size limit on wave files regardless of the file system being used. You are making a microphone recording of a meeting or seminar or whatever it is exactly. There is no reason to use a format that takes a lot of room. Exporting the file as an mp3 is more than adequate or some other compressed format such as ogg. These files don't have any size limits.

Do I understand it correctly that, before starting a recording, I first need to specify the duration as well as the source?

That means that after the time you specifyed, Audacity will stop recording. As the sound is being peacked up from Windows wasapi, the best way to avoyd the interference of the screen reader is to shut it down while the recording is in progress, or directing the screen reader to another sound card. You can also turn off the screen reader imediatly after opening Audacity and defined your recording duration. Then, assuming you are in the Audacity's main window, you just press r and off you go.

I will be listening to a four hour seminar and need to know whether it can be recorded without starting a new recording during the seminar. Is there a way to remove the screen reader chipping in occationally during a recording?
