No, there is not. We have that to aid our blind users. Thanks.

umm. is that a joke answer??

if they are blind how is a sound going to help them tell the size and area of a window... and also, how would they know what they were recording if they could not even see it????

Often times the blind have some vision and this helps them set the window. Thanks.

I tried removing the .wav's from the application directory and got an even more annoying sound. As a user with capable vision, I find this feature very off-putting.

NO option to turn it off? Anywhere? Come on, software devs, don't be so inflexible.

This was the dealbreaker for me.

Peace
