I'll write up a full guide in a bit, or even record something if I can work out how. In the meantime, try this:
1. Import your audio, or record something. Voiceover should be focused on the track, which will be the filename if you imported or just "track 1" if you recorded.
2. Press space to play. Press left bracket to mark the start of your selection, and right bracket to mark the end.
3. If you need to reposition these markers, press space to stop playback, then comma to move the playback position back (or the app will just play your selection) and try again. There are commands to move your selection around which you can find in Audacity's keyboard reference (on google) or in the edit > move selection menu.
4. Once you are happy with your selection, do whatever you want with it. Copy, cut, apply effects, silence, save it as a new file, delete it (cmd-k), all apply to a selection.
Hello.
I have just downloaded Audacity for Mac OS X. Is there a getting started guide on how to use Audacity with VoiceOver? Unfortunately I am unable to find any keyboard shortcut keys at the help menu. The app interface is very difficult to navigate and use, there are a lot of unknown items on the screen. Your support is highly appreciated.
I don't know how recent this is, but here is a link for keyboard shortcuts.

Again, I do not know how recent this is. These are supposed to be useful with Windows and Mac, with the Command key being substituted for the Control key on the Mac platform.
So I know how to inport files, when I put aline end to end, and i play it, even though i inported the files in order, 1 through 7, for instance, when i press play, its all in a mess, all play at the same time. Can someone help me with this?

Audacity 2.2.1 had probllems
Audacity 2.2.1 had probllems with accessibility.
They have built an accessible copy and made it available ... perhaps things have been fixed in late releases but it would need to be verified.
If you are getting lots of unknown objects then your version is inaccessible .. refer to this link for information http://www.freelists.org/post/audacity4blind/Current-state-of-audacity-accessibility-for-Mac,2
