Silence Removal and End Point Detection MATLAB Code

Visit http://ganeshtiwaridotcomdotnp.blogspot.com/2011/06/final-report-text-prompted-remote.html for more detail about our project.
For the purpose of silence removal of captured sound, we used the algorithm specified in
"A New Silence Removal and Endpoint Detection Algorithm for Speech and Speaker Recognition Applications"
Our actual system was in JAVA but we verified the performance of this algorithm in MATLAB.

Inputs and Output

Before silence removal

After automatic silence removal

Here is the Matlab code : 
It first records sound for 5 seconds and removes the silence and then plays back.
