About the Author

Please recommend medium to low priced audio recording software?

I have some "pro" software but a friend who is only moderately computer literate wishes to make some audio files for purposes of dictation.

Essentially she would want something easy to use for recording via microphone, re-recording as necessary and saving to MP3 format files.

Fancy music editing is not needed but an intuitive recording interface would be essential.

I have seen some programs like Goldwave, Dexter and Blaze but have not used them & I would like some more opinions. Thanks!

Regardless of the program there is a learning curve.
If that's all she wants to do once set up Audacity will be easy for her to use.
You seem to have some experience so if you set it up for her all she'll need to do is plug in the mic, click the record button then export and save to mp3.

Lame may also be needed to encode to mp3 format if not already on her computer.

I haven't used the programs you listed either.
I use Audacity for far more than she'll need but it's free with no restrictions.
