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:

};
