[AUDITORY] Cut silence in beginning and end of speech recordings automatically?

[Tamar Regev <tamaregev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good way to automatically trim silent parts (which may contain some minor background noise) at the beginning and end of speech recordings?

Preferentially using Matlab but any other automatic way would work (we want to run this on many sound files).

Thanks a lot!
