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

Made on Book Port DT
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
