Endpointing

Definition

Endpointing is the system's ability to detect when a caller has finished speaking so it can begin responding. Accurate endpointing avoids premature replies and awkward silences.

Why it matters

Good endpointing keeps conversations flowing naturally and prevents the agent from cutting callers off or waiting too long.
