This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

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

Cancelable No
Interface Event
Event handler property onsoundend

Examples

You can use the soundend event in an addEventListener method:

var recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition() || new SpeechRecognition();

recognition.addEventListener('soundend', function(event) { 
  console.log('Sound has stopped being received');
});

Or use the onsoundend event handler property:

recognition.onsoundend = function(event) { 
  console.log('Sound has stopped being received'); 
}
