Hello Larry and all, I have Gold Wave 5.22 and the latest JAWS scripts and JAWS 8.0 on my machine using Windows XP. As I said earlier, sorry for repeating myself, the sample wav file I have is 11 minutes long. I figured out in Gold Wave that it is possible to do some auto queuing and to view the queues, but since I'm not sure what I'm doing, I wasn't sure if what I was hearing were the actual calls or the silences between them. I also have a fun program to try to make work that uses JAVA and where Java Access Bridge seems to make no difference, so I'm having so much fun with this, you wouldn't believe it.<smile>
Thanks again for your help!

I have most of the popular sound editors onboard and when it comes to splitting files, I would recommend GoldWave. In my own work, I use it for that purpose every day. Not only is it easy to split files, but the cost is only around $50, which should make it easier to sell your employer on the purchase. The entire program is very easy to use with a screen reader and, as has been noted here, scripts are available for Jaws users. It will definitely do what you need it to do quickly and efficiently.
