There are also various, off the shelf combinations of hardware and software
out there, that involve things like turntables that specifically connect
directly to PC using USB connectors, and they're meant for pretty much only
then transferring the LP's into digital formats, but not sure how usable
their software is as such, and, since they can only be used for one purpose,
I've never bothered with them, whereas I've used audacity for various other
things in past, including recording tape books, a couple of LP's, and some
general audio editing, involving common actions like clipping pieces out of
tracks, applying effects to them, merging multiple audio tracks/clips at
stages, etc. etc., but anyway.
Good luck!

Thank you, Jacob, It looks like this will be a time-consuming but
manageable project. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Here's the audacity wiki page on transferring tapes or records to the PC:

And here's the audacity usage with jaws page:

Subject: [Blind-Computing] accessible hardware & software for
digitizingvinyl albums
Hi All,
I have a big collection of vinyl records that I want to get onto my
computer. I'm using Jaws 13 & Vista. I've tried to do a little research
myself, but I don't want to dive in, only to get stuck because I've
chosen equipment or software that's not accessible with Jaws. From a few
articles on the internet that I just read, it sounds like I can use my
existing turntable & receiver, as long as I can find cables to connect
them to my computer. That could be tough since my receiver is probably
40 years old. And then I'd need an audio editor. Audacity was suggested
in one article, and I believe it works with Jaws.
Do any of you know of a tutorial that's been done on digitizing vinyl
using a screenreader? Do you have any other tips or suggestions of good
things to read on the subject?
Thanks so much,
Shari
