Re: [orca-list] Screencasts -- How to?

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

I'm probably about to do something similar for some accessible 
gaming-related work I'm doing. Kazam seems fairly accessible, though 
once I start recording, I don't know how I'm intended to stop other than 
switching to the terminal and pressing Ctrl-C, which I hope won't lose 
part of my video. I'm thinking of taking notes on my Orbit Reader and 
using them to structure what I say. It looks like I can record both 
computer audio and mic input simultaneously, and because my work needs 
the computer's audio track, I'll use a headset to minimize sound 
leakage. I'll also initially be unapologetic about how rough my work is, 
which I hope will get me a break from the critics.


Anyhow, I have no idea how well this will work--it's just my thinking at 
the moment.
