One out of two is not good. I forgot to check the Mac today but did
find my earlier post on this issue. See if the following helps John. I
will try to refresh my brain on some finer points tomorrow. Meanwhile,
here is an excerpt from what I wrote late last year:
I made a breakthrough today. Having pressed one of the brackets,
pressing Home fixes the issue I noted yesterday of not knowing where the
cursor had landed. The following example assumes you are as fussy as me
and have set to hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, but adjust
according to your setup.
Let's assume you want to set the cursor at 3 minutes, seven seconds and
351 milliseconds.
1. Press left bracket ([)
2. Press Home (on the Macbook Air Function-shift-Command-left does the job)
3. Write 000307351 and press Enter
You will be placed back on the audio track. As David said, VoiceOver
commands can be used to read the value before you press Enter. That
becomes important if you want to make very small adjustments, as you
will need to know current settings before making an adjustment.

interacted with the text, I get nothing. Am I missing something?

I stoked up a Mac a few weeks ago when someone else was having a
similar issue. Unfortunately, I have deleted my pearls of
wisdom.
I will try to remember to check again tomorrow. Meanwhile,
exactly what you enter will depend on the time format you have
set. If I remember correctly, pressing Home is the first
step. Then, if you want to go to 5 minutes and 5 seconds enter
00:05:05.00 assuming you have set time to hours, minutes, seconds
and hundreds of seconds. I am trying, without success, to
remember how to set time format on the Mac. I do remember that
getting VoiceOver to read what you have entered requires a bit of
digital gymnastics.
Let me know if you make no progress.

on a windows system if you push the left bracket key while

type in a time to go to. and when you hit enter on it, it plays

I want to enter the time numerically because I know about what time I
want and it may be a long file.

Subject: [audacity4blind] how to go to a specific time
Hi. I am using audacity on my Macbook pro using voiceover and I would
like to know how to go to a specific time entering it numerically.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
