Silence (APL for Audio)
Note: Amazon offers this functionality as a public beta, and might change, improve, or correct the functionality as customers provide feedback and the feature is iterated on.
A Silence component plays silent audio for a defined amount of time. You can use this component to add pauses between other audio components.
Note: You must combine
Silence with other components in an audio response. The audio response can't consist of the Silence component by itself.Properties
The Silence component has the base component properties and the following component-specific properties:
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
duration |
Number | REQUIRED | Specifies the number of milliseconds that the silent audio plays. |
Example
