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

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

onsoundend = (event) => {};

Event type

Examples

You can use the soundend event in an addEventListener method:

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

recognition.addEventListener("soundend", (event) => {

});

Or use the onsoundend event handler property:
