set_speech_event_timeout

Adjust the speech event timeout. This controls how many milliseconds since the last speech detection event to wait before finalizing recognition. This timeout works better than set_end_of_speech_timeout() in noisy environments.

Parameters

milliseconds

intRequired

Timeout in milliseconds.

Returns

FunctionResult — self, for chaining.

Example

from signalwire import AgentBase
from signalwire import FunctionResult
agent = AgentBase(name="my-agent", route="/agent")
agent.set_prompt_text("You are a helpful assistant.")
@agent.tool(name="configure_timeouts", description="Configure speech recognition timeouts")
def configure_timeouts(args, raw_data):
    return (
        FunctionResult()
        .set_end_of_speech_timeout(800)
        .set_speech_event_timeout(5000)
    )
agent.serve()
