set_end_of_speech_timeout

Adjust the end-of-speech timeout. This controls how many milliseconds of silence after detected speech are required before the system finalizes speech recognition. A shorter value makes the agent respond faster; a longer value gives the caller more time to pause mid-sentence.

Parameters

milliseconds

intRequired

Timeout in milliseconds.

Returns

FunctionResult — self, for chaining.

Example

1 from signalwire import AgentBase
2 from signalwire import FunctionResult
3 
4 agent = AgentBase(name="my-agent", route="/agent")
5 agent.set_prompt_text("You are a helpful assistant.")
6 
7 @agent.tool(name="speed_up_response", description="Reduce speech timeout for faster responses")
8 def speed_up_response(args, raw_data):
9     return (
10         FunctionResult()
11         .set_end_of_speech_timeout(500)
12     )

14 agent.serve()
