Automatic sentence segmentation

Special Interest Groups Audio Processing
1

I have an audio file of a paragraph of sentences, as well as a text transcript of the sentences. Using the audio + the text, Is there some way to use a program to automatically detect each individual sentence in the audio file, and save each sentence as separate audio files?

It would save me so much time, as opposed to cutting and trimming the sentences myself.

Thanks!!

In Audacity 1.3.12

If there are gaps between the sentences you can use “Analyze menu > Sound Finder” to mark the sections with labels.
If there are not gaps, then you would need to do that part manually.

Then use “File menu > Export Multiple” to export the labelled sections as individual files.
