            <para>The TALK_DETECT function enables events on the channel
            it is applied to. These events can be emitted over AMI, ARI, and
            potentially other Asterisk modules that listen for the internal
            notification.</para>
            <para>The function has two parameters that can optionally be passed
            when <literal>set</literal> on a channel: <replaceable>dsp_talking_threshold</replaceable>
            and <replaceable>dsp_silence_threshold</replaceable>.</para>
            <para><replaceable>dsp_talking_threshold</replaceable> is the time in milliseconds of sound
            above what the dsp has established as base line silence for a user
            before a user is considered to be talking. By default, the value of
            <replaceable>silencethreshold</replaceable> from <filename>dsp.conf</filename>
            is used. If this value is set too tight events may be
            falsely triggered by variants in room noise.</para>
            <para>Valid values are 1 through 2^31.</para>
            <para><replaceable>dsp_silence_threshold</replaceable> is the time in milliseconds of sound
            falling within what the dsp has established as baseline silence before
            a user is considered be silent. If this value is set too low events
            indicating the user has stopped talking may get falsely sent out when
            the user briefly pauses during mid sentence.</para>
            <para>The best way to approach this option is to set it slightly above
            the maximum amount of ms of silence a user may generate during
            natural speech.</para>
            <para>By default this value is 2500ms. Valid values are 1
            through 2^31.</para>

            same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(set)=)

            <note>
                <para>The TALK_DETECT function uses an audiohook to inspect the
                voice media frames on a channel. Other functions, such as JITTERBUFFER,
                DENOISE, and AGC use a similar mechanism. Audiohooks are processed
                in the order in which they are placed on the channel. As such,
                it typically makes sense to place functions that modify the voice
                media data prior to placing the TALK_DETECT function, as this will
                yield better results.</para>
            </note>
            <example title="Denoise and then perform talk detection">
            same => n,Set(DENOISE(rx)=on)    ; Denoise received audio
            same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(set)=) ; Perform talk detection on the denoised received audio
