Hi Everyone,
Okay, this sounds great, and I would love to get one of these devices.
I do need to get a good recording software that works with
Window-Eyes. I hope Audacity is free!
I have had trouble recording from my computer to a digital recorder.
It isn't working for me, and I get a humb noise with a little static.
I guess I need this device which I'm guessing must be a USB sound card.
Here is what I do to convert cassettes to mp3.
I have a small stereo cassette recorder. I put the cassette in there,
and use a patch cord to hook up the cassette recorder from the ear
phone jack on the cassette recorder to an Olympus DM-620 recorder, or
the LS-14 recorder. to the microphone jack or the line-in jack I
record each track as an mp3 file.
Of course I do adjust my recording settings on the Olympus recorder
before I begin recording.
Oh, and this is a stereo recorder.
But, I would love to be able to record from my computer using a good
recording software and Window-Eyes from web sites.
I don't want it to pick up my keystrokes, either. I assume I would
need an external USB sound card.
Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated, please.
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

Greetings
I purchased a USB device that has RCA left right audio inputs. There is
also a nob to vary the signal strength. And that's not all; yes this
sounds like a cheesy infomercial. It has a ground connection for turn
tables too.
This device, whose name I can't remember, came with Audacity software.
It works very nicely with Window-Eyes; especially if one doesn't mind
using the mouse pointer. Not necessary, much can be done with menus and
keyboard commands, but the mouse pointer adds to the overall experience.
The beauty of this USB device is you can use any audio device with an
output jack. I have a Y cable that splits the standard headphone jack
found on most MP3 players, cassette recorders, iOS device etc.

Subject: Digitizing Audiocassettes Using Window-Eyes-Compatible Software
Hello, everyone.
I am looking into ways of getting material on audiocassettes converted
to MP3 or another suitable format. Has anyone purchased special
cassette decks that will do so? Am I tied into using a particular
program to do the digitizing with such a deck? Alternatively, I realize
I could use a conventional tape player to send the output of the audio
to my computer. I am not familiar with using audio software, so the
simpler the recording package, the better. I don't think I'll be doing
a lot of editing; I will just convert the tracks as they are.
Thank you for all help.
Craig
