Well I disagree and others will also and since you've made up your mind then
we'll leave it at that.

I know, but the tutorial insists that b/c there are no good keystrokes with
1.2.6 that allow one to have more control over things (like the different
panes, for example), that 1.2.6 is therefore inaccessible.  and I would have
to agree, since I started out with 1.2.6 and had absolutely no luck with it
whatsoever.  I'd like to know how it's useable.  As far as I can tell, it's
sort of useable, but not to such a degree as to be able to be recommendable.

Not just me, but a lot of users have been able to use it.  I'll give that
tutorial a look.  just be aware that 1.33 is beta and not 100 percent
stable.  I'd say anyone that wants to use it should use the latest stable
version they can get.

Don't know how you managed to do version 1.2.6, but here's the direct link
so you can see for yourself.

Let me know what you think.  Mark

I would suggest using the newer beta as well, but I have used both 1.23 and
1.26 here with Jaws and it was an easy process.  The tutorial on my website
is for version 1.23 and the version of the program is 1.26 on my site.  I've
used audacity 1.26 here to do a few podcasts on the website.  Not sure what
or who gave you the idea that 1.23 or 1.26 won't work.

Sorry but your incorrect.  I have used it with jaws with no problems at all.
I have a audio tutorial and the audacity file for download on my web site.
 
www.blind-geek-zone.net 
 
Look near the bottom of the audio page for the demo and look in the programs
page for the program download.
 
Thanks,
 
Rick

Audacity 1.2.6 is not going to work at all with JAWS.  I can tell you that
for a fact, and the tutorial on the net will tell you as much.  You can just
Google something like "Audacity tutorial for using JAWS" and you should find
it.  It's very comprehensive, and the latest one covers the latest beta
version--1.3.3.  I highly suggest using 1.3.3 even though it is in beta, but
then so was 1.3.2, but did they release an official version?  Of course not!
My point being that yes it's in beta, which basicly means there's a few
bugs, but overall it really does a good job.  I use it myself, and I have
very rarely had problems with it.  Mark

Greetings!
 
I am using JAWS 8.0.1163 with Windows XP home; I'm considering downloading
Audacity 1.2.6.  Does JAWS work well with this program? Are there any
pitfalls I should consider?
 
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
 
Best wishes,
 
Rollie
