Another possible option is AudioBookCutter. I have downloaded it but have not tried it yet. Someone on the Victor Reader Stream mailing list recommended it to automatically detect breaks in speech near the lengths you specify and make the splice there.

Hi Darrin.
Thanks for your help. If i use the automatically split option, is there any way of goldwave automatically detecting pauses and splitting based on when there is a pause? or would i have to use the manual procedure you described?

Mo,

This could easily and quickly be done with GoldWave. Goldwave will either automatically split the file into segments whose lengths you specify (regardless of what's happening at the split point) or you can manually go in and drop que points where you want the file split. This is pretty quick and easy since you can jump to any part of the file quickly. For example, if you wanted the file split up into roughly thirty minute segments, you could simply jumt to, say, 29 minutes and thirty seconds and start listening, dropping your que point during a pause or quiet part of the file. Then repeate at 59:30, 1:29:30, etc.

I did this for a two and a half hour lecture series I recorded and managed to get the entire lecture split into approximately 5 minute segments in somewhat less than an hour. Another nice feature of GoldWave is that you can name your que points and tell the program to split the file at the que points and use the que point names as the split file names.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

Hi All.

I'm looking for a program that will convert a long MP3 file, say 8 hours
in to manageable segments. Would goldwave do this? I want something
ideally that will detect pauses and split based on when a pause occurs
so for example if i'm converting it in to half hour sections and there's
a pause after 30 minutes and 3 seconds, it'll split where the pause is
and not in the middle of a word. does anything like this exist and
that's accessible? I don't mind using the jaws curser.

Best,

Mo.
