Hi, I am trying to record the sound of streaming TV and omit the commercials. I find that neither pause (shortkey p) then record (shortkey r) or record-stop (shortkey s) are reliable. What’s the reliable way to go about this? I’m blind and having some trouble reading the forum, so would appreciate it if you could send me a message instead of posting here. Thanks so much!
We don’t answer questions by messages and this is not a specialist forum for the blind.
I suggest you upgrade to the latest Audacity 2.0.5 from here http://audacityteam.org/download/windows . I know of no reason why the shortcuts are not reliable. Might you have a sticking keyboard?
Then read this “JAWS guide to Audacity”: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-2.0.5-Guide.html .
