Hi I still use jaws find it faster than nvda although I have both on
this computer. and no we do not have to pay for tandem itself. We pay
for Jaws in full however. I haven't been to the freedom site for a
long time know it has another name which I seldom remembver, but as
little as two days ago my friend and I were on tandem and did fine.
She often fixes stuff for me or shows me how to use things. But, in
this case she was unable to figure how Audacity works, so I am still
in the darkness about this although read some of the manual that I
found online. Even though I have read that manual it's so complicated
I don't get it. Not stupid I assure you but not as savvy about
computers as I should be because I have never had formal education on
Jaws or anything else with computers. It's only through friends I know
how to mail stuff, copy stuff, and getting things from the NLS
library. etc. so I learn bits from everybody else who understands this
stuff better than I do. I tried signin to skype on my ipad but I
forget my password, and cannot access. I tried the workarounds but
still no dice. Need help with this too. everything, so I often feel
quite dumb regarding technical stuff although I do enjoy researdching
on the web and quite good at this by now. I acquired my computer first
one, in 2007 that was Microsoft based, although eighties I did have an
Apple 2e as many did. I had to sell it all off when I had a very bad
health crisis had to give up my home, and job at once. And have been
homeless five times and survived it all. But still need education a
lot on computer things. Thanks for writing. KB

Hi Karen
You and Ted can decide on the most effective tool(s) for your lessons. From
my perspective though, options such as Skype and Zoom are very useful.
Subject to audio equipment, Tandem is not essential. My understanding as
one who no longer uses JAWS, is that JAWS Home does not include tandem
without paying extra.
Others on this List can give you links to material on using Audacity with
JAWS (this slacko has not retained it). Last year I recorded an audio
introduction, which some have found helpful. You can download it from
https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/v56cn4. I also strongly recommend checking
out the Audacity user manual. It is available from the Help Menu once you
have installed Audacity.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Hello I am so new here!
Here's my story. I am an older lady looking for help for this program.
My friend who is computer savvy but not music savvy tried to help when
six months ago I downloaded the program. We have deleted it and need
help with install as well as use if anyone is so generous to donate
time to teach me how to use this program. I am anxious to use it to
record songs because I have been a musician for fifty years. But I
come from a time when the only use of recording items was long ago
when reel-to-reel tapes was used in a studio my friend owned. This was
way back there before the internet too, before anyone had a computer
in the house at all. I do therefore understand how tracks work and
other items that makes recordings sound nice. I just need help
understanding how to manipulate the jaws and how this whole thing
works. If you have time, please write back and tell me and we can make
mutual arrangements. I would really appreciate help. I have had a
computer since 2007, running windows ten, and hope this works with
that, and also have Jaws 18 home edition. Thanks for listening. Karen
Bailey, and guide dog Zelda
