This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The speechend event of the Web Speech API is fired when speech recognized by the speech recognition service has stopped being detected.
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("speechend", (event) => { })
onspeechend = (event) => { }
A generic Event with no added properties.
You can use the speechend event in an addEventListener method:
const recognition = new (SpeechRecognition || webkitSpeechRecognition)();
recognition.addEventListener("speechend", () => {
console.log("Speech has stopped being detected");
});
Or use the onspeechend event handler property:
recognition.onspeechend = () => {
console.log("Speech has stopped being detected");
};
