Hi folks!
Now thanks to your kind contribution it seems to be working. A problem
still is that however it plays the preview and then I can delete the
section but afterwards the playback starts from the end of the deleted
section. Seemingly I delete somehow not only the selected section but
the whole section before the selected one. A real mistery!
In the long run I must find a way to select the part properly in order
to extend or shrink its limits if necessary.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

That’s what I expect when editing in Audacity.
Enjoy!

wrong?
Hi guys,
I tried it with Jaws & the script & it seems to work.
No feedback while its playing though
I hit the left bracket where I wanted to start, it keeps playing then I hit
right bracket where I wanted to end.
It kept on playing.
I pressed space to stop it then space again & it just played the part I
selected.

Hi Iván
Greetings from Australia. I suspect you were unlucky rather than doing
anything wrong. I just followed your steps and it worked as it should. I
use NVDA rather than JAWS and do not get feedback when pressing left
bracket. I just tried with a demonstration copy of JAWS and also did not
get feedback. Are you running a JAWS script for Audacity? Something seems
to be changing behaviour on your machine.
Note that pressing Enter and control+a do different things. Enter selects
the track but no audio on the track, which is fine for what you are doing.
Control+a selects all audio in the project which, for your task, is also
fine.
I rarely use p to pause but have confused myself on occasions when using p
and spacebar. However, pressing spacebar should ultimately start playback
from where you pressed left bracket.
Unless pressing spacebar plays the segment between where you pressed left
and right brackets, you have not selected what you want. By the way,
pressing control+z will undo. Therefore, if you delete the wrong part, you
can get it back again.
Let us know how you get on. I believe you are very close to conquering it.

Hi Group!
I am so glad I found you!
I am a Hungarian blind fellow having to do some corrections on audio
recordings. First of all select and delete parts of an audio.
I thought the easiest way to do it would be selecting the sections during
playback. I list below what I did. You’re free to tell me where did I do
wrong.
1. I opened the mp3 file
2. I selected the whole file tapping Enter or ctrl+A
3. I started to play the audio tapping space bar
4. At a certain point I ppushed left bracket. Jaws confirmed I selected
the left side limit of the selection
5. I stopped playback with space bar
6. I wanted to restart but neither space bar nor P didn’t react. I
pushed enter to select again and tapped space. The recording obviously
started from the start.
7. I tapped right bracket and jaws said what it had to say.
8. I tapped Del
9. A cutting happened from the very start of the recording. Awful.
Int he meantime I wanted tol isten the preview of the selected section
tapping C but nothing happened.
I know I committed loads of errors. But I don’t know which are the correct
steps. Maybe it is all about selecting badly. Any idea?
Thanks
Peter
