[Blind-Computing] Recording Audio within the PC
Hi all! I'd like to be able to record the audio that comes from within my laptop with Audacity 1.3. I would do this, for example, when I want my screen reader to read information on the internet. I've done this before, and I remember selecting mono mix, but I don't know or remember how to access this feature. Which keyboard commands should I use?

[Blind-Computing] More about the Special Cassette Player
The device looks very much like an old-fashioned small recorder but with some features that look different. I discovered that there's a button or switch that will make it play the other side of a tape without having to turn it over. As I mentioned, it gets it's power via a USB Port. It came with software, the Cassette to CD Wizard that guides you through the process. I can access some of their options with Jaws 12, but I don't see the record button, unfortunately. Interestingly enough, the seller sends Audacity on a CD. Maybe that's what the Wizard uses? For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

I have a sneaking suspicion that IDTAudio's automatic starting up when something is plugged into the input jack for recording has something to do with this problem. I took my microphone away, and now it's working easily. But it doesn't always act like this when it's plugged in! Hmm.

[Blind-Computing] Music Interface and Software
Hi! You asked about how to use a music interface with accessible software. I strongly recommend that you take a look at : http://www.DancingDots.com They have products that can help you do what you want with your music. As for not having a USB port for your keyboard, you would need a midi cable to connect it to a port that is something like what your monitor is attached to but that is for a sound card. And you might want to get a higher-end sound card too. Hope this helps, Sharon For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Hi again, I have a Key Station midi controller that attaches via a USB port.

[Blind-Computing] Alternatives to Function keys?
Hi! I purchased a Del laptop last fall. Although it works fairly well for me, it lacks many of the desired commands for the function keys. For example, you would normally press F1 to get help. On this computer, you get choices like, Projector, Computer, Extend. So I'm wondering, do any of you know of a way to fix that, or are there any alternatives commands for Jaws in such areas as the Jaws Find Dialog where you have to press F3 to look for the next item? When I use firefox, doing the ctrl+f repeatedly only takes me back to the first instance on that page. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!
