I absolutely love total recorder
http://www.totalrecorder.com/

which records pretty much anything, including your screen reader’s voice, your VOIP phone call, your internet radio – also has a video recorder. My husband got the video recorder from me as a birthday present and he only liked their audio recorder however.

This tool is accessible, has loads of support articles on their site and works in all versions of windows.

You can set it to record at a certain start time, stop at a certain time, or record for a particular length of time.
It does not mess up access technology like other recording software.

You can save in pretty much any format.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this situation. I'd like to do more targeted sessions with faculty and staff at my university around improving accessibility of websites. The issue is that I can't always work in my own environment with my desktop, and it's difficult to ensure that a screen reader is installed and functioning on someone else's computer/laptop. I've even tried NVDA-on-a-stick with my profile, but I've had it fail, depending on the windows version of the laptop/computer I'm trying to run it on.

It would be easier if I could just record the audio (at a good quality without the ambient office noise) of my trying to use a website and share that with colleagues. I can do this for document remediation by using Speechify or Natural Reader, but not for websites.

Is there a good way to record the audio of the screen reader as I try to navigate through a website?

Thanks,
D.
