accessible audio editors like audasity (self.Blind)
submitted by enzwificritic
hey guys,
i am running NVDA in my windows 10 computer. can you suggest a audio editor with as many features or similar features like Audasity?
Preferably free but any would work.
thanks.
edit: to make it clear NVDA does not read the screen when i use Audasity.
Edit2: i don't know about the version but i uninstalled it because of inaccessibility. i will check again the website.
edit3: i have installed audasity again and it works with NVDA. thanks for all the comments. this question is now answered.

What problems are you having with audacity? It's my go-too audio editor, and it's always worked fine for me.

NVDA can't read it.

I'm not blind, but you blind people would like a command line tool like sox.

whats that?

An audio Swiss Knife. You can do everything from commands typed from the command line.

I'm not sure if you have checked it out yet, but here is a link to the Audacity for Blind Users wiki:

I haven't used Audacity too much, but I recently started using Reaper for video editing. However, Reaper is mainly an audio editor; therefore, you could try to use it in place of Audacity. You can download the OSARA extension, which makes it more accessible when using NVDA. There is a 60 day free trial, and the non-commercial license is something like $60. Below is the accessibility wiki.

Have you tried pressing alt and exploring the menus?
If that doesn’t work, try downloading the latest version from the website.

i can't suggest an immediate solution but you might want to send the people at audasity an email letting them know about accessibility and the issues you are having. it would probably take a few years to make the app accessible but at least it will help to put it on their radar.

Actually, they've already done loads of work on accessibility. I'm not sure what problems OP is having, but they're most likely on his/her end, rather than because of a problem with audacity.

NVDA does not read the screen. that is my main problem with audasity.

Hi. I am a JAWs user mainly, but have used NVDA on occasion. Have you tried restoring NVDA to the original factory settings or re-downloading NVDA or the editing program that you are using? Do you know any screen reader refresh keystrokes. On JAWs, it is insert and escape. It might be the same on NVDA. I hope that this helps.
