Audacity works well with Jaws and is free. However, if you are new to audio
editing, it would be a bit difficult to learn.
Goldwave works well with Jaws and has a quite modest price tag. Goldwave is
also relatively easy to learn.
Sound Forge is functionally the best but is expensive to purchase. It is
not difficult to learn and it will work with Jaws, as long as you purchase
Jim Snowbarger's scripts.
There is a lot more information I can give you, but rather than waste space

Holger,
What you want to do is straightforward enough.
You will need-
a.. A sound card with a stereo line input. A second sound card would
make life simpler, by allowing you to route the screen reader speech to
the sound card that is NOT handling the recording input (thereby making
sure that you don't get screen reader speech in your recording);
b.. A stereo cassette deck and a patch cord to connect the deck to the
input of the sound card (I know that some people on the list will argue
with this, but 4 track books are just stereo recordings with the tracks
assigned differently);
c.. An audio editing program, such as Sound Forge, Goldwave or audacity.
A very useful feature you should look for in the audio editor is the
function to reverse the playback of sound. That is to say, if a track is
playing backwards, the function will reverse it so that it plays forwards
in the normal intelligible way;
d.. And the most important thing you will need is time and patience
because, even if you record 4 track books in stereo at one and
seven-eighths inches per second (twice the 4 track book speed), it will
still be a time consuming process.
Over the last 15 years I have converted hundreds of 4 track recordings of
lectures and seminars. The process is a little complicated so I won't
waste space describing it here.
If you would like to know how to edit 4 track books then please e-mail me
