I have a question regarding JAWS and recording conversations on Skype using Audacity.
My friend needs a laptop that will record conversations using the Audacity program which will also pick up, not only the voice of the other person, but JAWS as well. He not only needs JAWS picked up during a recording, but picked up during a conversation with someone else that is not being recorded. Right now he is using a Toshiba laptop with Vista that does just this. There is no problem recording conversations with others and JAWS using Audacity and picking up everything and no problem for the person he is speaking with outside of a recording hearing JAWS clearly while on Skype with him. Because he needs to replace this laptop, he is looking for a laptop that will do the same thing as he is taking a class that needs these functions. He has tried several Toshiba laptops, an Asus and an HP. All use Windows 7. The HP worked just the same as his Vista, however, there were other problems with this laptop and he needed to return it. Toshiba is telling him that there is no problem with their product and that it is a Windows 7 or Skype issue, however, as I explained, it worked fine with the HP which also used Windows 7. He uses the latest version of Skype and he used the version of Audacity which works with Windows 7. Here are my questions. 1. Does anyone use a laptop with Windows 7 that will pick up a recorded conversation, both voices and JAWS using Audacity? A desktop computer is not an option and another recording program is not an option. It must be a laptop with Windows 7 and Audacity. 2. If anyone has used such a computer and found it to be something that they didn't like, was there a setting in Skype, Audacity or Windows 7 that they changed to stop it from occurring. If so, where can that setting be found and can it be easily reversed? 3. If there is a laptop that will work, I need both the brand and model. Thank you. Vicki My heart is in his hands.
