09/30/2025, 2:45 PMvapiClient.stop(), try reducing the backoffSeconds in your stop speaking plan. This parameter controls the recovery "quiet period" after interruptions and can impact how quickly the pipeline finalizes and delivers transcripts. For example:
json
"stopSpeakingPlan": {
"numWords": 0,
"voiceSeconds": 0.2,
"backoffSeconds": 0.5
}
Lowering backoffSeconds (e.g., to 0.5) can help the system process and return the transcript more quickly after the call ends. For more details, see the [voice pipeline configuration documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/voice-pipeline-configuration).
