Goldwave will also work for this. I do have a caveat here:
Most interfaces you can buy require the same drivers used by JAWS
(ACIO). A second sound card, or some software gymnastics may be
required to get such an interface and JAWS to work together.
Alternatively, you can simply connect an RCA to 1/8" (3.5 mm.) cable and
input the audio through your microphone input. Try to get an
"attenuated" or resistant cable, as microphone and line levels are quite
different from each other. Then, start the movie in your VC$R or the
music cassette and use Goldwave's recording function. The file can then
be saved in any audio format you like. I will warn you; even with this
method I've had numerous driver conflicts/resource demand conflicts when
trying to use JAWS (version 14.0/Win7 Pro) to do this, but when
successful the quality is awesome.
BTW, the above only applies to capturing audio from the tapes; video
import does require a separate interface.
Hope this helps,
Paul

Hi, is Audacity accessible? Our volunteers at the library use it for

for Converting VHS, Audio Cassettes, etc. to a Computer File
Hello All,
I've recently learned that there devices out there that will allow you to
connect a VHS player, camcorder, cassette player, etc., to your computer so
that you can save these old formats to ones that can be used from the
computer or mobile device. Does anyone have recommendations for software
and hardware that can be used with JAWS?
Thanks,
Annette
