SpeechRecognition: stop() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The stop() method of the Web Speech API stops the speech recognition service from listening for incoming audio and attempts to return a SpeechRecognitionResult based on the results captured so far.
Syntax
js
stop()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
js
const recognition = new SpeechRecognition();
const diagnostic = document.querySelector(".output");
const bg = document.querySelector("html");
const startBtn = document.querySelector("button");
startBtn.onclick = () => {
recognition.start();
console.log("Ready to receive a color command.");
};
recognition.onspeechend = () => {
recognition.stop();
console.log("Speech recognition has stopped.");
};
