Breakup recordings individually automatically in Audacity

Scenario:

A recorded list of names, with some silence between each one.  Need them individually saved into their own file name.  Audacity can do this automatically.  Tested in version 3.4.2

1:

Load your recording file with all the names into audacity.

Here is my list of names, 26 of them


There is about 1-2 seconds of blank space between each name:


2:

Now Select the entire recording


3: 

Select "Analyze" then "Label Sounds"


4:
Now you can alter the parameters to decide when the audio is split up.  I pretty much left it at default for my case.  Click on "APPLY"



Audacity will now Label each audio section.  This is a good way to see if your parameters are enough to get you the divisions you need.



5:
Select FILE-> Export Audio
Select the folder you want to put them in
Select "Multiple Fles"
Select "EXPORT"


6:
Open the folder you put them in
