# gather
The `gather` command is used to collect dtmf or speech input.
```json
{
"verb": "gather",
"actionHook": "http://example.com/collect",
"input": ["digits", "speech"],
"bargein": true,
"dtmfBargein": true,
"finishOnKey": "#",
"numDigits": 5,
"timeout": 8,
"recognizer": {
"vendor": "Google",
"language": "en-US",
"hints": ["sales", "support"],
"hintsBoost": 10
},
"say": {
"text": "To speak to Sales press 1 or say Sales. To speak to customer support press 2 or say Support",
"synthesizer": {
"vendor": "Google",
"language": "en-US"
}
}
}
```
You can use the following options in the `gather` command:
| option | description | required |
| ------------- |-------------| -----|
| actionHook | Webhook POST to invoke with the collected digits or speech. The payload will include a 'speech' or 'dtmf' property along with the standard attributes. See below for more detail.| yes |
| bargein | allow speech bargein, i.e. kill audio playback if caller begins speaking | no |
| dtmfBargein | allow dtmf bargein, i.e. kill audio playback if caller enters dtmf | no |
| finishOnKey | Dmtf key that signals the end of input | no |
| input |Array, specifying allowed types of input: ['digits'], ['speech'], or ['digits', 'speech']. Default: ['digits'] | no |
| interDigitTimeout | Amount of time to wait between digits after minDigits have been entered.| no |
|listenDuringPrompt| if false, do not listen for user speech until say or play has completed. Defaults to true|no|
| minBargeinWordCount | if bargein is true, only kill speech when this many words are spoken. Defaults to 1 | no|
| minDigits | Minimum number of dtmf digits expected to gather. Defaults to 1. | no |
| maxDigits | Maximum number of dtmf digits expected to gather | no |
| numDigits | Exact number of dtmf digits expected to gather | no |
| partialResultHook | Webhook to send interim transcription results to. Partial transcriptions are only generated if this property is set. | no |
| play | nested [play](#play) Command that can be used to prompt the user | no |
| recognizer.vendor | Speech vendor to use (google, aws, or microsoft) | no |
| recognizer.language | Language code to use for speech detection. Defaults to the application level setting| no |
| recognizer.vad.enable|If true, delay connecting to cloud recognizer until speech is detected|no|
| recognizer.vad.voiceMs|If vad is enabled, the number of milliseconds of speech required before connecting to cloud recognizer|no|
| recognizer.vad.mode|If vad is enabled, this setting governs the sensitivity of the voice activity detector; value must be between 0 to 3 inclusive (lower numbers mean more sensitivity, i.e. more likely to return a false positive). Default: 2|no|
| recognizer.hints | (google and microsoft only) Array of words or phrases to assist speech detection | no |
| recognizer.hintsBoost | (google only) A value between 0 to 20 inclusive; higher number means assign more weight to the hints | no |
| recognizer.altLanguages |(google only) An array of alternative languages that the speaker may be using | no |
| recognizer.punctuation |(google only) Enable automatic punctuation | no |
| recognizer.profanityFilter | (google only) If true, filter profanity from speech transcription . Default: no| no |
| recognizer.vocabularyName | (aws only) The name of a vocabulary to use when processing the speech.| no |
| recognizer.vocabularyFilterName | (aws only) The name of a vocabulary filter to use when processing the speech.| no |
| recognizer.filterMethod | (aws only) The method to use when filtering the speech: remove, mask, or tag.| no |
| recognizer.profanityOption | (microsoft only) masked, removed, or raw. Default: raw| no |
| recognizer.outputFormat | (microsoft only) simple or detailed. Default: simple| no |
| recognizer.requestSnr | (microsoft only) Request signal to noise information| no |
| recognizer.initialSpeechTimeoutMs | (microsoft only) Initial speech timeout in milliseconds| no |
| recognizer.azureServiceEndpoint | (microsoft only) URI of a custom speech endpoint to connect to| no |
| say | nested [say](#say) Command that can be used to prompt the user | no |
| timeout | The number of seconds of silence or inaction that denote the end of caller input. The timeout timer will begin after any nested play or say command completes. Defaults to 5 | no |
In the case of speech input, the actionHook payload will include a `speech` object with the response from Google speech:
```json
"speech": {
"stability": 0,
"is_final": true,
"alternatives": [{
"confidence": 0.858155,
"transcript": "sales please"
}]
}
```
In the case of digits input, the payload will simple include a `digits` property indicating the dtmf keys pressed:
```json
"digits": "0276"
```
**Note**: an HTTP POST will be used for both the `action` and the `partialResultCallback` since the body may need to contain nested JSON objects for speech details.
Note: the `partialResultCallback` web callback should not return content; any returned content will be discarded.
