That might be where I'm going wrong. I just assumed the track would be selected if there was only one in there. I'll try that. I'm at work at the mo so can't just now. I don't have audacity on my machine here. Re the scripts, Audacity should be able to be used from the box without it right? What extra does having the scripts offer?

The problem I usually have when start learning Audacity is I foreget selecting the track wich I want to edit. Make sure you select it by pressing insert+tab. You should here: track name select on if you select it before By the way, there's a jaws script for audacity written by Gary Campbell and me at https://dangmanhcuong.googlecode.com/files/Jaws%20Script%20for%20Audacit y.exe If you have fre time, please try and tell us what you think. Thanks all listers for download and try it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Johny Cassidy <mailto:Johny.Cassidy1@xxxxxxxxx> To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 8:04 PM Subject: [audacity4blind] Selecting and playing audio Hi there Totally new to audacity so I appreciate all the advice I can get. I've been reading through the tutorials for audacity and JAWS. It seems pretty straight forward, except I'm really struggling to select audio and play the selection back. The tutorial says to use the left and right brackets to choose the start and end points of the piece you want to select, but I don't think it's working for me. When I try and play the selection back it just plays the whole track. Where am I going wrong? This will probably be the first of many many posts I put up here so thanks for all. PS I'm using JAWS 10 and Windows XP with the latest version of Audacity. www.twitter.com/johnycassidy Johny Cassidy Planning Producer BBC Business and Economics 02085767486 www.twitter.com/johnycassidy From 8 th October, the BBC Business planning desk will be located in New Broadcasting House in W1 New number from then will be 020 361 42555 http://www.bbc.co.uk This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
