Hi Regina,
you don't need any special script for the keystrokes, and the keystrokes that
you used for your first try seem to be fine, and should have worked. Your
second method where you cut and paste to another track probably wouldn't have
worked because when you export to an mp3 file, then all the tracks are
automatically mixed down to a single track before the export.
I don't know what the problem is. If you've deleted some of the audio, and it's
not there when you playback, then it shouldn't be there when you export it.
Could you try this slightly simpler experiment:
1. Open an mp3 file.
2. Select all the audio, by pressing ctrl+a.
3. Press delete to delete all the audio.
4. Press home to move to the start of the track, and then spacebar to play
the track - there should be nothing.
5. Export it to a new mp3 file.
6. Open the mp3 file which you've just exported - has that got nothing in it?
hopefully we can work out what's going on,
David.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Keyboard commands do not work
Hi all
Last week I have installed Audacity 1.3.13-beta on
my Windows XP netbook with Jaws 11 on it.
I have tried to edit a track by using keyboard
commands mentionned in the guide for Jaws users, but Audacity die not react,
whiley, funnily, it did when I choose the commands in the menu bar.
As described in the manual, I turned the automatic
selection of all audio off.
After having opened the mp3-file I wanted to edit,
I did the following to select a time range and cut it:
play: space bar
Move to beginning of time range: arrows left and
right
pause playback: p
Set start of time range: [
unpause: p
move to the end of the time range: arrows left and
right
pause: p
Set end of time range: ]
stop playback: space bar
delete selected time range: delete.
When playing the track, the audio I had selected
and deleted was not there any more like I wanted. But when I exported it to an
mp3 file, the deleted section was in the file again.
My second try was to select a time range as I
described above and transferred it into another track by cut and paste, what
did
not work as well.
Even my sighted friend who has also installed the
same audacity version but on a Win 7 computer had the same problems using
keystrokes.
Did we misunderstand the manual? Or do I need to
install a special script including the keystrokes explained in the
manual?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers
Regina
