Silly question - I know it is - but, if I want to record myself reading
contents of a text file, was playing around with using a set of
earphones, with a built-in boom microphone, that have largish earpieces
that cover your ears completely, and trying to then actually not plug
their output jack into the PC, but, while have the microphone plugged in
to the machine's microphone socket, I then plugged some decent,
sennheiser in-ear earphones into the output socket, and literally just
wore the other, larger earphones over them, with the idea being that I
could then record using the microphone and audacity, while reading the
contents using NVDA, via the earphones, and sort of repeating it as I
heard it.
This was since when initially tried using these earphones for both
listening and recording, it was picking up quite a bit of the audio
coming out through the earphones via the microphone.
Idea is thus, to sort of transcribe some text contents into spoken
audio, but, the issue is that no matter if I set NVDA's output volume
quite low, this microphone still seems to be picking it up - maybe it's
picking up some of the electronic activity, volume levels notwithstanding.
Only other thing was still considering trying, for now, is to actually
convert the synthesised speech into something like MP3, and then listen
to it on a totally separate MP3 player, while still recording via the
PC/laptop, but, just wondering if I am totally confused/mistaken, and is
it likely that it's literally just that the microphone is actually
recording the rendered audio output of the sennheiser earphones?
Alternatively, I might end up having to just pause between listening to
each piece of content, before then speaking it myself, but, this would
be a bit irritating, since would then need to step through whole
recording, cutting out the pieces, bit by bit?
Thoughts/suggestions?
TIA
