Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
I believe gold waveis your best bet. As for recognizing the silences you can use the fast foward (f6) (be sure to chage it to 5.0 for the fastest speed.) when you get to the division between calls press f7 (pause) then control q to the cue point. Once all your cue points set are set enter the edit menu to split the file. Then at your leisure you can annalize them. I believe I have the scripts for cool edit. I will send them off list to you ** My drinking team has a bowling problem. robert Doc Wright http://www.wrightplaceinc.net msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Beth Hatch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 8:32 PM Subject: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent,Job Related Hello everyone, Please be forewarned, I'm a pc tech by training but I'm not an audio expert, so please be gentle with me because I'm in dire need of your expert assistance.smile I am supposed to start a job this week where I need to record and then listen to tech support calls from agents taking live calls for an internet provider.

Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hi Beth. 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.

Hi, you can use GoldWave to auto separate calls for you, making them files automatically, as long as there is a known area of silence between the calls. It is quite a unique ability, better than Sound Forge which is not as speech friendly for that option. I don't know about Cool Edit in that regard.

Hello Curtis and all, The wav file I have here as a sample is about 11 minutes long. I am told that I must set up the computer to record several hours of calls, then separate them into files where one call is saved as one file. I played with Gold Wave a bit yesterday. I could arrow through the Queues that appeared, but all I heard were numbers and what appeared to be times elapsed, but I couldn't tell whether these were the actual call or the silences between them.

RE: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
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!

Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Try the options for auto split in your *.wav file, it searches for silences of a length you can determine beforehand, (used primarily for making audio cassettes into digital single file(s)) and see if that will do the job for you. The menu looks like this: Split File Destination folder: rank\The Diary of a Young Girl, Definitive Edition 1995 Overwrite existing files Method of naming split files Use cue name for filename Use base filename and number Use cue name prefixed with base filename and number Base filename: track### - First number: 1 Prefix original filename File format Use CD compatible wave format and alignment Use default save format and attributes Use file's current format and attributes OK Cancel Help Some of those are radio buttons for other choices to be used. That menu is under q point which is under edit, in gold wave. It works, and it will do what you want. I recorded that book for my collection to a single 10 hour *.wav file at 22,050Hz mono, and had GoldWave split it into sections which had 3 or more second pauses in it. You can use any amount of silence you wish, and can adjust the threshold of silence to be handled, the point at which you wish queue points to be automatically dropped, and much more. GoldWave will then split the file from the beginning to the end into numbered file(s) automatically for you. Experimentation and adjustments might be necessary, but it works wonderfully.

Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hi Cool Edit can search for silences - and you can set the level and duration of the silence - it then puts in cue points if you remove the silences where the silences have been removed and then you can run through them by cue points or split the file into separate files, automatically renaming them. My only uncertainty is as to how the program will find silences - will you make it so that between phone calls you will have digital silence so it's easily found or will there be any noise there. Also if there are pauses in conversation, will these be seen as silences? If you can ensure against that I don't see why Cool Edit shouldn't work. Regards.

Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
I would use goldwave because you can run the file using fast forward by 2 or 3 times and find the silences -- a bit slower than a sighted person would do, but it will work. Cooledit may or may not have such facilities, but I know goldwave does. on Monday 11/05/2007 Beth Hatch([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote Hello everyone, Please be forewarned, I'm a pc tech by training but I'm not an audio expert, so please be gentle with me because I'm in dire need of your expert assistance.smile I am supposed to start a job this week where I need to record and then listen to tech support calls from agents taking live calls for an internet provider.

Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hi Beth I could certainly send you the Cool Edit scripts or links to it depending on your version of Cool edit. Also depending on your version ;you can set up a keypress to fast forward and rewing while listening to the speeded up version of the file. Adobe Audition 1 and 1.5 is the follow on to Cool Edit and can do both with scripts. Regards.
