Hi Dave,
I'm not familiar with the Book Port. I've had a quick look at the manual. When 
you say that you're using the rewind feature, is it the backspace mode that 
you're using, which is described in the manual?:
 
"During Recording or Pause mode, you may use the Backspace or Left Arrow to 
pause the recording so you may correct mistakes while you make the recording. 
When you press Left Arrow or Rewind, Book Port announces, "Backspace Mode" and 
lets you move to the beginning of the error for correction. Each time you press 
Rewind or Fast Forward or Left or Right Arrow, Book Port plays a small segment 
of the material at the current position. When you reach the desired correction 
point, press Record again to continue recording from that point."
 
If you're using this feature I'm surprised that this ends up creating lots of 
files. You'd have thought that the appropriate files would be merged, at least 
by the time you created a book.
Maybe you could ask APH for suggestions on what to do. Having to rerecord you 
recording isn't a very satisfactory way of doing things (Even if you could get 
it to work).
 
David.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Using Audacity to Duplicate a Recording Made on Book 
Port DT




Hi All!! 

I recently bought a Book Port DT.   As 
I'm recording, I use its rewind feature to make corrections.  The 
problem is that Book Port creates a new file every time I make a correction, so 
by the time I'm done recording, I can have 50 files or so.  I don't want to 
merge these files, because the mistakes I made during the recording don't get 
corrected.  What I want to do is have Book Port play my recording and use 
Audacity to copy the recording onto my PC, so that I can further correct it and 
add effects with Audacity. 

I have a patch cord.  I'm connecting one end 
of the cord into the earphone jack of the Book Port.  I'm connecting the 
other end into my PCs audio jack.  I'm using Audacity, and I'm not getting 
anywhere. 

Here are what I think are the 
relevant Audacity settings:  under "devices" (host), I've chosen the 
Windows DirectSound option.  I also have chosen the settings of "Realtek HD 
Audio Output" and "Realtek HD Audio Input: line volume." 

Can anyone help me on this one? 

Thanks very much! 

Dave
