Insert Regular Pauses into Audio with Transcription Pauses Plugin in Audacity

The Transcription Pauses effect is an Audacity plugin that inserts silences at regular intervals into a selected audio track. It allows you to set the interval between silences, the duration of the pauses, and the amount of overlap between pauses. This can be useful for transcribing long audio tracks, as it allows you to easily break them up into manageable chunks. The plugin also provides a help option that provides more information about the effect and how to use it.

Advanced Description

The Transcription Pauses plug-in for Audacity allows users to insert silences at regular intervals into their audio. It is especially useful for transcribing audio files, as it allows the user to pause between sections of audio. The plug-in has three controls that the user can manipulate. The Interval control sets the silence will be inserted after each interval. The Pause for control determines how much silence will be inserted each time. Finally, the Overlap control allows the user to overlap audio sections by a certain amount. The plug-in also includes an error check to help the user avoid making mistakes. If the user sets the Interval and Overlap to the same value, the error check will inform them that this will cause the same section to be repeated forever, which is not allowed. Similarly, if the user sets the Overlap to be greater than the Interval, they will be informed that audio sections cannot be overlapped by more than the duration of the section. The error check also prevents the user from overlapping by more than 90% and setting the Interval to be longer than the selection length.
