I don't know of such a program, but there is a simpler solution.

When you make a mistake that will require correction, repeat the sentence
containing the mistake and continue.

When you finish the recording, delete the fragment containing the error.

Goldwave will do that with ease.


Sure, I've been doing just that. Yet, I don't think this is such a
non-issue you seem to imply.

If you invent a better way, let us know. Here's another thing to think
about. Back in the old analogue tape days I narrated long-form scripts for
a producer who preferred to stop the tape whenever a mistake was made and
punch in a new start at that point. At the end of the session he had a tape
requiring no editing. Unfortunately, I always felt that the performance
suffered. Rather than concentrating on the story telling, I became part of
the mechanical process of creating a finished tape. In addition, the
recording session was almost always twice as long as it needed to be, time
for which he paid me. I think he lost on both his time wasted and my
unnecessary additional time charges. However, I doubt that AT&T noticed the
line item on their balance sheet.;-)

An earlier poster mentioned the best answer I've found. In Adobe Audition I
just tap F8, whenever I make a mistake. That places a marker on the
time-line. Another key-stroke combination moves the cursor from one marker
to the next in an instant. A few seconds takes care of each edit for the
most part done visually on the wave-form.
