Audacity shortcuts in system tray
I'm using Audacity to playback a recording at different speeds, to transcribe it.
Is there a way to add a play/pause key to the system tray, or a keyboard shortcut that would work even when I'm in Word?
Alternatively, I'm open to hearing about other (free) programs that can playback at varied speeds and be controlled with a shortcut like mentioned above.
Thanks!

When your in Word you still need to highlght Audacity so that the keyboard cmd's work
Merete, that's the key feature he's trying to achieve. He wants to control Audacity without giving it a focus so that he can keep transcribing inside the Word.

dbrunton: it looks like autohotkey may be the way to go. Since I have absolutely no experience with it, would you be able to help me figure out how to do this. I think that the only way may be to have the script switch windows, pause, and switch windows back. Is alt-tab the only way to do this? Or is there a way that would switch to Audacity, no matter which program would come next in the alt-tab sequence?
CyanBlue: perhaps you can gain by listening in on this.

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
