onspeechend = (event) => {};

Event type

A generic Event with no added properties.

Examples

You can use the speechend event in an addEventListener method:

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

recognition.addEventListener("speechend", () => {
  console.log("Speech has stopped being detected");
});

Or use the onspeechend event handler property:

};
