# completetimeout

## completetimeout <a href="#completetimeout" id="completetimeout"></a>

**Default Value:** 1 second

The specification-optional completetimeout global property is not supported but a setting here will override the incompletetimeout value if it is of a greater value.

### Example

```markup
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <property name="completetimeout" value="5s"/>
    <field name="myfield">
      <grammar type="application/x-jsgf" mode="voice">
        ( one | two )+
      </grammar>
      <prompt bargein="false">
        Say any number of the digits one or two.
      </prompt>
      <filled>
        You said <value expr="myfield"/>.
      </filled>
      <nomatch>
        You did not say any ones or twos.
        <reprompt/>
      </nomatch>
      <noinput>
        You did not say anything.
        <reprompt/>
      </noinput>
    </field>
  </form>
</vxml>
```

### Explanation

From this example, the user has 5 seconds to say either one or two. If the user does not say anything within these 5 seconds, then a completetimeout will occur and return a \<noinput> to the user. When a user begins to say either one or two, the application waits for 5 seconds due to completetimeout. Once 5 seconds has passed, the application returns a response to the user.

### Notes
