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
