Ok, thank you for trying both of you. Bob, I didn't get your message until it
came attached to Jean's message. Sorry.

That isn't the problem. The status bar is changing and JAWS sees that
something is happening. But in newer versions of Audacity, JAWS isn't able to
read the status bar properly. I don't know if there is another way to see the
elapsed time of a recording but it appears that reading the status line doesn't
give you that information any longer.

Hi Don.
I’ll take a crack at answering your question, though this is just a guess.
The Audacity screen is a fairly busy screen, and, though it tries to keep
up
with it, jaws really takes a sort of photo shot of the screen at one point
despite the fact that you have it in “say all” mode.
If this surmise is correct, the only way you can get a more reliable count
of the elapsed time is to refresh the screen with insert + escape. Even
then
your information is not correct, it’s correct to your last “refresh
screen”.
Like I say, this is just a guess, and maybe someone else can do better.
Thanks.
Bob

Subject: [audacity4blind] recording question
Hi
When I record, when I put Jaws into “Say All” mode, it should tell me the
elapsed time of the recording. It doesn’t.
All it says is 00 00 00 00 ad nausium.
Anybody know why it might do that?
I use Windows 7, JAWS 16 on a desktop computer.
Thanks.
Don
