Audiobook Cutter Free Edition is a useful tool to help you cut long MP3 audiobooks into smaller files that you can load into portable MP3 players. The whole process is automatic, relying on the silences and long pauses that we find in spoken recordings. The process involves no re-encoding, thus preserving the original quality. This application has been designed to be accessible for blind and visually impaired users.
Though aimed mainly to be used with audiobooks, Audiobook Cutter can split any MP3 file containing speech, such as podcasts or digitised analogue recordings. This technology is based on silence detection, applying the split points automatically any time the program finds a long pause in the narration. Usually these pauses reflect changes of chapter or section, thus transforming the original audiobook into a more manageable version.
This application works perfectly with both screen readers and screen magnification tools, allowing blind and visually impaired persons to effectively use this program – audiobook technology is their main way of reading otherwise inaccessible materials.
This Free Edition has very limited functionality, allowing you to determine the length of the output files in seconds and minutes. The rest of the settings, options, as well as the ID3 Tag configuration, can only be used in the Pro Edition.
Split and merge video and audio files preserving their original quality.
