Do you know of any audio software that will do this?

So that would be no.

Why not using Powerpoint or similar?

Why not using Powerpoint or similar?

That would be using presentation software for your presentation.

I've never used PowerPoint for anything. Do they let you key a timeline as needed? My experience has been solely with still images and talking the presenter out of using thousands of different transitions.

"Ooooo. Here's a pretty Zoom effect. Can I use that?"

"No."

Who are you presenting this project to and what is the purpose? If we knew that we might be able to suggest better ways of doing what you want. Do you have to go to each of the labeled sections in turn or do you choose the section to go to randomly?

If you don't have a pointing device, you can use Mouse Keys to move the mouse pointer . If that is not agreeable or you don't have a foot pedal with appropriate software then you will have to use keyboard shortcuts to control Audacity playback.

Audacity Team do not make support or documentation videos. It takes too long to redo them as soon as any detail of the instructions or the interface changes.

Changing the keyboard shortcuts is described in the Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ke ... tml#change .

You won't find a Frequently Asked Question for this question because it is not frequently asked.

Yes the Manual says you can TAB between labels http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/la ... ng_a_label .

Quick note. Don't forget to place a label at the beginning of the performance or the Tab Advance will not find it.
