You said, in an earlier message, that you want to hear the elapsed time so you know if the program is recording. But what happens if you pause the recording when you have JAWS set to say all? The announcement of 00 will probably stop and that may be just as effective a way to know if the program is recording or not than an actual announcement of the time. The time should be made accessible if it isn't now but it is unlikely that the actual announcement is necessary for your purpose. You probably hear the constant repetition of 00 because the information keeps changing even though it can't be read. JAWS sees the change but can't announce it but since it knows there has been a change, it keeps repeating 000 every time a change occurs. It's as though, for JAWS, the number is flashing.

This doesn't sound like a way to have JAWS read the time elapsed as a recording is happening. It did with the old Audacity, but now during a recording, if I go to "Say All," in JAWS, instead of the elapsed time it says 00, 00, 00 and so forth.

Hi Don,
The playback or recording position is shown by the audio position control on the selection bar. You can get to this by pressing ctrl+f6 to move to the selection bar, and tabbing till you reach the control. To return to the tracks, press ctrl+f6 twice.
Note that the jaws script for audacity provides both a keystroke to read this position, and a keystroke to read the state of audacity, that is stop/record/record paused/etc. Perhaps someone else could give you details of where to download this script if you're interested.

David.

Not sure.
I want to hear the time as I am recording, so if I hit “Pause,” I know it is paused.

Are you using the scriptset for JAWS? I am.

If playback is stopped: When I press the left or right bracket to set a start or end point, a dialog comes up with the actual time of the selection. If I hit enter, it dismisses the dialog.

If the file is playing: When I press the left or right bracket to mark a start or end point, the time is spoken but no dialog is presented.

I'm not sure what happens if the scriptset isn't used.

Does that help?

Best,
David

Hi all

I just downloaded the newest Audacity.
I use Windows 7 and JAWS 15.

When recording, instead of saying the elapsed time it keeps saying 00 00 00 and so on.

Any ideas how to stop that and get it to say the elapsed time, something I need to know?
Thanks.

Don Wardlow
