Recording audio to file until no dialogue. - diffLocks16 - Aug-14-2019
Is there a way in Python that I can call a function to start recording audio to a file, which will then only stop when it can't make out any other words. Not when it is silent because I want it to work in a room with minimal ambient noise and therefore only want it to stop when no more dialogue is detected. Another point is that I would like to avoid using the python speech recognition module https://pypi.org/project/SpeechRecognition/ because the way it records is not suitable for my requirements. Any suggestions? Thank you.

What you're describing sounds like VOX (voice-operated exchange) which is a voice operated switching used by amateur radio.
You might want to read up on that, and/or search for 'software VOX' or 'software voice-operated exchange'.
