Generate a dictation

Hello!

I’m learning English. In view to practicing I would like to generate dictation from audiobooks: I would like to add extra silence time each time the reader pauses.

I used ‘silence finder’ to spot every pause and I worked pretty well. I just need a way to add silence after each label.

Does someone know a way to do so?

Fred

There is a plug-in available here which I think will do what you need: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/extend-silences/34612/1

Hey Fred, I did a short 6 min video for what you are wanting to do. Just so you know, @Steve has far more knowledge then I do, concerning Audacity. The way I did it was using the “Split” command under the Edit Menu / Clip Boundaries / Split. You can view it here. https://youtu.be/r1yQQDOnC90.

@Steve, I downloaded your recommendation and will play with it later this afternoon. Thanks for the info.

Hey Dana,
Did you delete your video from youtube because its not working right now. Could you plz share it again
