Hello: It's very simple but could cost you a lot of money if you want a good quality recording. First, you have to find a program that will let you record files from a sound card to your PC. You can't use Sound Recorder because it only records about a minute. You should probably connect your tape recorder to a line in port. (I can give you more details off-list). I'd then recommend a noise reduction program. Sonic Foundry's noise reduction does the trick beautifully.

I sent this message yesterday afternoon, but didn't see it come through, but it didn't get bounced. I want to start a project, turning some of my old cassettes and tapes into digital files before they die. Never having explored these avenues, I wonder if someone could tell me what the best software out there is per Jaws accessibility? Same goes for hard-drive backup. Any suggestions as to software accessibility with Jaws 5.0 in that area? Thanks in advance and apologies if this topic has been brought up.
