What is the best most accessible version of Skype with Jaws and where are
the most up to date scripts.
Is there a list of Short Cut keystrokes for Skype?

I use a Sound Blaster Live. Sound Blaster Gold is a better one. Just
depends on how much the quality matters to you. Not sure what you mean by
"four track". Do you mean Talking Book four track mono? In this case,
nearly anything that is good at all and with aline input will do. If
you're talking about stereo reel to reel tapes, then you'd probably want a
fairly good and quiet card. There are even USB sound cards that are very
good these days. As for software, my favorite for doing the transfer is
Goldwave. Very accessible and easy to use after getting used to it. You
can make very precise edits with it and you can have a free demo version
that lets you do up to 100 operations per boot session. You can buy it for
$45 U.S. at least that's what I paid for it and don't think the price has
changed. If you don't need the editing function then CDEX is your choice.
It is completely free. Will record sound to several formats including .wav
and mp3. For burning the CD I prefer Nero but EZ CD DA extractor is also
very good and it can do conversions as well as burn. So you have several
choices and others on this list probably have others as well.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. What kind of a sound card do I need to get for the 4
track player? What is good but affordable?
What is the most affordable software, easy to use for a blind person to
do the actual transfer so I can have either a .mp3 or .wav file on a CD?
Thanks. It sounds very complicated.
Sincerely,
Lauren

I do this kind of thing all the time. You need a sound card and an
audio patch cord that will connect between the output of the cassette
machine and the line in of the sound card. To record I prefer Goldwave
as you can not only record, but precisely edit the beginning and end of
each track or segment however you want the files to be and you can also
set the volume level to maximum without distortion and even do some
noise reduction in many cases. CDex will also record directly in mp3
format and you can turn on normalization to set the level but there's no
editing or noise reduction features. And you'll also want Nero or other
CD writing software and, of course, a CD-R drive which come with just
about every computer these days to turn the sound files to CD. If you
want audio CDs that will play on any CD player then you'll want to
record the files as .wav instead of mp3 but the process is the same
regardless of what kind of final CD you want. Mp3 files won't usually
play on audio CD players but should play on DVD players. Hope this
helps.

Hi,
I have a couple of old recordings that were done on a 4-track cassette
machine. Is there a way I can convert that to an audio cd?
Thank you.
