Hi David.
Thanks for your E-mail.
Yes, you are correct. It is the backspace mode I'm using. Book Port knows
how to play the recording (i.e., it moves from file to file effortlessly).
If I were to merge the 50 or so files, using a merge program on my PC, the
files would be disjointed and my errors would still be played.
Here's the thing though. I did get my problem solved on my home computer.
My work computer has an older sound card, which is probably why I can't have
what Book Port is playing recorded by Audacity. Anyway, it does work at
home. I play the recording on the Book Port, and Audacity records the
playing of that recording from Book Port.
Thanks David!
Dave

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
