Silence Cutter

A ten-minute voice memo is usually seven minutes of talking. This finds the dead air — thinking pauses, shuffling, the walk to the door — and cuts it, leaving natural breaths alone.

How it decides what's silence

Energy per 50 ms block, against your threshold. Blocks quieter than the threshold for longer than your minimum get collapsed to a short beat (a fifth of a second) so speech doesn't slam together unnaturally. Breaths and word-gaps are shorter than any minimum here — they survive, which is why the result sounds edited rather than robotic. If your recording is noisy enough that "quiet" isn't quiet, run it through the noise remover first; the cutter sees silence much more clearly afterwards.
