Twilio - record and hangup after silence

Question

I am executing an outbound call, and specify the record=true. in this call, there is only one verb which is the audio. Everything works good.

The call is hangup-ed just when the Audio finish. But, I want to give a chance to the user to speak and record him until silence after the Audio finish, and then to hangup. Of course I need the record the whole call.

So I can use <Pause>, but it's very strict, for X time and not until silence from the other side of the call.

I can use <Record> verb after the <Play> verb, but it adds another Record in addition to the whole-call record.

Any idea? Thank you!

You could use <Gather> with speechTimeout set to auto. You would be doing unnecessary voice transcription (though that might be useful to you), but it should allow you to listen until the user stops talking.

Alternatively, you could just <Record> the user's part, since you know you are sending them the audio to listen to.
