 Hi Amy,

 Right now,  Audacity is the best solution for
 both your questions from our experience.   We’ve need to
 to do it lots, both for people who have banked many
 authentic messages on one recording file as well as for
 folks for whom we are using pre-recorded media to create
 files to double dip.

 Stay
 tuned…I hope to have an automatic process to do the
 editing/splicing of large files in the next few months. 
 It is actively in process…but if you want this soon, I
 would do the manual labor since, while active, there are
 moving parts that have to fall into place with this
 project.

 John

     Hi
 Listserv,
     I am working with a fellow
 who made recordings of his life story immediately after
 being diagnosed with ALS.  He recorded them on his iphone
 using voice memo.  By the time I met him his speech had
 declined quite a bit so I want to try to convert these
 recordings to wav files to use them for message and voice
 banking. 
    
     My
 first question is, what are peoples favorite software for
 converting MPAs to Wav files.  I am currently using
 Audacity. My second question is do people have any
 suggestions for ways to chop a 15 minute sound file down
 into smaller recordings.  This is going to be time
 consuming.  Acapela wants clips that are only about 5
 seconds long for creating a synthesized voice.  Thanks!
