SpeechRecognition: soundend event

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The soundend event of the Web Speech API is fired when any sound — recognizable speech or not — has stopped being detected.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("soundend", (event) => {});

onsoundend = (event) => {};

Event type

A generic Event with no added properties.

Examples

You can use the soundend event in an addEventListener method:

js
const recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition() || new SpeechRecognition();

recognition.addEventListener("soundend", (event) => {
  console.log("Sound has stopped being received");
});

Or use the onsoundend event handler property:

js
recognition.onsoundend = (event) => {
  console.log("Sound has stopped being received");
};
