# incompletetimeout ## incompletetimeout **Default Value:** 1 second The required length of silence following user speech after which a recognizer finalizes a result. The minimum value for incompletetimeout is 500ms. ### Example ```markup
( one | two )+ Say any number of the digits one or two. You said . You did not say any ones or twos. You did not say anything.
``` ### 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 an incompletetimeout will occur and return a \ to the user. When a user begins to say either one or two, the application waits for 5 seconds due to incompletetimeout. Once 5 seconds has passed, the application returns a response to the user. ### Notes None --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
