# incompletetimeout

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

**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
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <property name="incompletetimeout" value="5s"/>
    <field name="myfield">
      <grammar type="application/x-jsgf" mode="voice">
        ( one | two )+
      </grammar>
      <prompt>
        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 an incompletetimeout 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 incompletetimeout. Once 5 seconds has passed, the application returns a response to the user.
