min_silence_duration

what is the meaning of this parameter

Thanks for reaching out, Mohammed. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


The `min_silence_duration` parameter is used in the Voice Activity Detection (VAD) system. It specifies the duration to wait after detecting silence before concluding that speech has ended. This helps prevent the system from prematurely ending speech detection during brief pauses in speech.
