Syntax

[Visual Basic]

Public Function TrimSilence (

nSilenceThreshold as Int16

) as enumErrorCodes

[C#]

public enumErrorCodes TrimSilence (

Int16 nSilenceThreshold

);

[C++]

public: enumErrorCodes TrimSilence (

Int16 nSilenceThreshold

);

Parameter

Description

nSilenceThreshold

Number representing the silence threshold referred to the volume level. Supported values are expressed with a linear volume in the range from 0 to 32767. If for example you should set a value of 800, any portion of sound having a volume level lower than 800 would be considered as silent.

In case you should need to set a threshold value expressed in dB, before setting this parameter you could convert the value in dB into a linear value through the following formula (C syntax):

ValueLinear = 32767 * pow (10, ValueInDB/20);

In case you should need to define different thresholds for the initial and final portions of the recorded sound, use the RecordedSound.TrimSilenceEnhanced method.

Return value
