# saiAsrGetRecognitionTimeout

Retrieves the length of time (recognition-timeout interval) that the recognizer waits before terminating a recognition request when speech is detected.

#### Prototype

DWORD saiAsrGetRecognitionTimeout ( SAI_RECOGNIZER_HANDLE recog H d, DWORD *value )

Argument | Description
recogHd | Handle associated with a recognizer resource.
value | Pointer to a timeout interval value in ms. The timeout interval value can range from 0 to MAXTIMEOUT, where MAXTIMEOUT is a recognizer-specific value. For information about supported values, refer to the speech vendor documentation.

#### Return values

Return value | Description
SUCCESS |
SAIERR_INVALID_PARAMETER | One of the specified arguments is invalid.
SAIERR_UNSUPPORTED_SPEECH_PARAMETER | Recognizer engine does not support the specified parameter.

#### Details

When recognition starts and there is no match for a particular period of time, the recognizer sends SAIEVN_ASR_RECOGNITION_DONE to the application and terminates the recognition operation. The SAI service returns SAI_RCC_RECOGNITION_TIMEOUT in the completionCause field of the SAIEVN_ASR_RECOGNITION_DONE event buffer.
