How to record while someone speaking

[theredcuber]

I want to record, so long as a person speaks. When the person ends with speaking the command should save the audio.

How is the command for such a thing.

I'm not sure if there is a command for recording or not.

However if you would like to record audio have a look at Audacity.

Audacity hasn't command line arguments. And speech recognition software does only convert not record

From the command line, there's arecord, which is part of alsa and should be already available on your distro/OS. Simply open a terminal and type

arecord

with no arguments it'll show all the available options, for example, to record an audio 10 secs long type

arcord -d 10 -f U8 my_record.mp3

the resulting file will be saved in your home dir. Here's a nice tutorial on how to use it with different helpful examples https://jordilin.wordpress.com/2006/07/28/howto-recording-audio-from-the-command-line/

If you're using Ubuntu, there's audio recorder, a GUI tool. To install it you'll have to add its PPA

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:audio-recorder/ppa

update sources

sudo apt-get update

then install audio recorder

sudo apt-get install audio recorder

Hope this helps!
