I'm thinking about getting a Visionary LapTalk with integrated WindowEyes pPro. I'm also looking for recording software. Does anyone know what the most accessible recording program that works with WE is? I'd really like to know. Also, does anyone know where I can get Set files for WindowEyes? Any help will be appreciated, because I'm switching from JFW to WindowEyes.

One interesting thing to note with Window-eyes is it won't need as many set files as Jaws needs scripts. lol Usually programs will work fairly well if you learn to use your mouse pointer, although on a laptop that might be a bit trickier. There's a mailing list you can join, I think it's GW-info? Anyway the info is on the GW Micro site.
Hope this helps a tiny amount and I use Window-eyes so feel free to write me if you have any more questions.

I know they have some set files etc in place for Cakewalk. Cakewalk, in general, also really try to be accessible to the best of their ability, which is more than you can say for most other recording software guys. I'd say go with that. You can get older versions (Sonar 2 or Home Studio) anywhere from $50 to $200. I just got the $500 Sonar 4 producer edition but I'm working on a huge project and needed unlimited inputs and all the fancy stuff that goes with recording and you definitely probably don't need all that.
I'm using Jaws though and will report on the accessibility of this latest product as soon as I've tested it out properly.

K... be more spesific. What kind of things do you want to record? cD's? audio? midi, which I think cakewalk is the best at midi sequencing. Goldwave is an alternaive to be a good audio recorder, but I think studio recorder from the american printing house for the blind is the best since its accesible and doesn't need any script at all, I think you don't need to know so much about sound with this program. Goldwave instead needs markers to delete parts of the sound, and the hours minutes seconds format is quite annoying, 00:00:00.00000 I don't know exactly why after the period there are 5 zeros.... but well.

Ooh I want a Laptalk! As for Recording, I like Sound Forge and CDEx.

The real reason I want to record is because I want to record a pipe organ CD. Which one would be good for that? Also, does the LapTalk have a line-in jack. Man I need one.
