I suggest all podcasters check out the studio recorder program from aph Just go to http://www.aph.org/beta fill out the form and then you can download a beta the latest beta came out in mid December so it would be a free unlimited trial until mid March it's great for recording spoken recordings and does the basic to intermediate sound editng quite well. It doesn't hog computer resources either -----Original Message----- From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 1:55 AM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: New PodCaster Needs Help Hello Everyone, My name is Mark and I just joined this list. I am a Windows XP user who wishes to begin pod casting. I live in Los Angeles, California. Currently I use Jaws 7.0. I have been trying to locate information on what software most low-vision/blind pod casters recommend for creating their MP3 files. As yet I've had no luck. So, I would appreciate any suggestions on what programs to obtain and help on the basic steps to begin the process. I do have my own website. Thank you. M*rk
