Holy Grail, you are new in the forum, so I will explain you how you can send a PM to an unknown forum member. In the Buddy List you can only find those people with which you already had contact with and which you manually had added to this list. So as a complete forum newbie your Buddy List is always empty! You can send PMs to anybody, not only to buddies. To send a new messsage to anybody you click on "New Message" and then you see a field called "To Username" and a titlefield. In the field "To Username" you fill in the nickname of the person, so in this case "AlOlaf" and in the titlefield you fill in for example "Question about...". You write the message and send it to him. I hope that this works now for you, it's really not so complicated to send PMs. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I vaguely remember some limitations with PM, ie. that newbies' PMs take quite a while
to find their recipient. If I remember correctly, writing a message in one of his logs might be more fruitful. but on topic: One can use praat (www.praat.org) to write a script that does this. The hardest/most unreliable part would be the detection of the end of a sentence. But I guess even a trivial algorithm based on the length of low amplitude might work for 80% or so of the sentences, but this probably depends on the language in question and the narrator. Using pitch and intensity information might give better results, but only thinking about the implementation gives me headaches. Would manually marking the cut/insertion point be an option? You would play the sound file and whenever a sentence ends, you press <tab> <enter> <tab>. You can then use a trivial script to enter silence at these points.
