Visually, the status bar is split into a left and right section. There is different text in the left status bar depending on which tool is selected and whether the mouse pointer is over the track panel. The message "Actual Rate: 44100" appears in the right hand section of the status bar, b...

I'm assuming that the status bar is accessible to screen readers - is that the case Robert?

There is only a faded "Export" label under "File", Most of Audacity's commands are greyed out (unavailable) while Audacity is playing or paused. Click the square Stop button to ensure that playback is stopped and not paused. You will find export instructions for the current vers...
