Studio Recorder is a seriously underrated software package from APH, the American Printing House for the Blind, and is ideal for anyone who wishes to record speech perhaps for podcasting, to produce and edit the reading of a book, or some other purpose. While not widely recognised, it also can be used to mix music with speech. Indeed we would go as far as saying that unless you want to use multi-track software, it beats every other mainstream product hands-down for mixing sound on sound for some very compelling reasons! We have a training course available for purchase relating to how to use Studio Recorder.
Some JAWS scripts were created for the training course mentioned above. In addition to providing additional spoken information when visiting some fields within Dialog Boxes, there are some additional utilities.
Ordinarily, pressing the Space Bar will activate the Play and Pause function of Studio Recorder. Pressing Enter will stop the audio playing, relocating the cursor back at the point where play had commenced. However, some people used to working with other audio editors would prefer that pressing the Enter key paused playback. For very precise editing on extremely small fragments of audio this makes the process easier. Should you require this functionality, press ALT+Windows+F12. This is a toggle action and will enable and disable this special setting.
