They may not cover every feature and they mainly refer to late versions of the previous Audacity 1.3 series. They are basically a “nice read” (as Steve said) that try and “tell a story” about working through how to use Audacity. Please note that the books for sale on are not official reference Manuals for Audacity. Please use at your own risk, without any comeback. Underlining of links looks shoddy and is only approximate to the intended underlining. Most internal text links work, although they may not go exactly to the target location. No links work where they are part of an image. There is a a table of contents, then after the Manual Front Page and the Quick Help index page, the rest of the pages follow in alphabetical order.

If you want a rough, unofficial PDF for 2.0.3, you can try this: It needs a lot of scripting work by a developer to get it right.

Unfortunately, there is no official PDF Manual for Audacity 2.0.x because we do not have the resources to make an official, polished PDF Manual from our HTML source material. The only way to accommodate what you want for free with such a large document as the Manual would be a PDF Manual, which you could then print as one process instead of a page at a time. Hard copy printing and publication costs are too high. When people ask for this, they don’t appreciate that a supplied paper manual would never be free, especially when Auadacity itself is free. Is it possible to download COMPLETE manual that I can print? I don’t need or want list of links, I want a COMPLETE manual in my hands. However, it is important for me to be able to use Audacity, and to use it, I need a manual, a COMPLETE manual, a paper manual. (2) Maybe it’s not important for me to be unable to install version 2.0.3. What am I supposed to do? Yes, I have tried to uninstall version 2.0.0, but it must be there in some tiny crevice that I don’t see, because I have obviously been unable to rid myself of it. Sometimes, I’m told that I can’t install what I have just downloaded because another copy of Audacity has been detected and bad things will happen if I try to run two copies. I keep being told that I’m running version 2.0.0. However, no matter how many times I download version 2.0.3. I want 2.0.3, but when I click on “About Audacity” i’m told that I have version 2.0.0 (Unicode). (1) First, I don’t know which version of Audacity I’m running.
