This is starting to get frustrating. Try Google, or take a guess at where
the best place to buy it is: how about
http://www.goldwave.com/
$19 for single year and $49 for life time. These are questions you could
answer yourself in the same time it takes you to post them to the list. I
understand the questions about how well it works, but this is real
pedestrian stuff now.

Does GoldWave cost anything? Where is the most reputable site for
downloading it? And--where do you get the tutorials and scripts?

Only other option might be Gold wave. There are free JAWS scripts available
for it and, it's pretty inexpensive. You have to edit the files when they
are .wav, then save them as mp3.

I don't know for sure on that one. Firstly, I am using JAWS 7.x: that's at
least three major versions behind the current offering. Secondly, my
experience with Audacity was several years back, and who knows how much the
program has changed since then. Total Recorder works well with both Win-eyes
and JAWS. Audacity, as I recall, was a bit tricky. There were no JAWS
scripts for it back then that I knew of. Again, unless you are wanting to
doctor the recordings after the fact, it's over-kill to use Audacity for
voice recordings. It's like using Microsoft Word to write source code; yeah,
you can do it, but it isn't the right tool for the job. Audacity is aimed at
musicians who want to do multi-track recording and mixing. In the end, you
will have to be the judge. They are both available for trial (Audacity is
open source if memory serves me
correctly) and Total Recorder is pretty reasonably priced. In the end,
necessity, motivation and determination are going to decide the issue for
you.

Is TR more blind accessible than Audacity?

Total Recorder would do nicely for this sort of thing. Again, you won't be
able to manipulate the sound of the recording with TR as you would with
other programs like Audacity, but TR is just about perfect for what it does.

Hi there,
I'm wanting a program to record and upload audio files to the internet in
.mp3 format. I want to read for my local radio reading service from home and
then upload files to them.

Audacity is really aimed at people recording and mixing music. Unless this
is your intent, it is probably over-kill. If you are wanting to record voice
or internet streams (that kind of stuff) I would direct you towards Total
Recorder. It's a pretty cool program and works well with older versions of
JAWS. I am stalled out on JFW 7.x, and TR works fine for this. One would
assume that the newer versions of JFW would work well too. There used to be
a free version, and I suppose that may still be the case, but I sprung for
the Pro version.
Might be able to give better suggestions if I know what exactly you are
trying to accomplish.
If you are wanting to edit files to remove dead space and the like, TR is
just about the best I have seen for speech users. Unlike most of the other
programs that make you select points on a visual wave form, TR gives you a
combo box in percentages from 0 to 100. This combo box is totally
accessible, and makes it pretty easy to insert markers at beginning and end
of of the portion of the wave form you want to manipulate. TR does not,
however, have any of the more esoteric features and sound enhancement such
as echo, flange, reverb, adding bass or treble boost, cross fading &c. For
those kinds of enhancements, you will need something like Audition, Audacity
or Sound Forge.

know there are several versions of Audacity out there (a quick Google search
confirms this). In the opinions of the blind Audacity users here, which
version is the most blind-friendly/accessible? Would you happen to have a
link to that particular download?
Is there another audio recording program that is more accessible?
Do you believe that most features of Audacity in its current form are
accessible?
Thanks,
Kim
