# resultsFinalizationTime The audio input time up to which results from this module have been finalized (after this result). The module’s results are final up to but not including this time. ``` var resultsFinalizationTime: CMTime { get } ``` ## Discussion This value is mostly equivalent to the start of [`volatileRange`](/documentation/Speech/SpeechAnalyzer/volatileRange) after the time at which this result was published. The module publishing this result will publish no futher results with a [`range`](/documentation/Speech/SpeechModuleResult/range) that encompasses a time predating this time. The module may publish results for a range that includes this time. The client can draw the following conclusions from this value and `range` (or refer to the [`isFinal`](/documentation/Speech/SpeechModuleResult/isFinal) property): - If `resultsFinalizationTime >= range.end` then this result is final. Additionally, all previously-provided results with a `range` predating `resultsFinalizationTime` are also final. - If `resultsFinalizationTime < range.end` (or `resultsFinalizationTime <= range.start`) then this result is volatile and may or may not be replaced by a result provided later. A module is not required to provide new, final results for audio ranges that it finalizes through if the previously-volatile result was unchanged by finalization. If needed, however, a client can create two modules—one that provides both volatile and final results, and a second that only provides final results—and process results from the latter differently. This value is not *exactly* equivalent to the start of the volatile range. The [`volatileRange`](/documentation/Speech/SpeechAnalyzer/volatileRange) property combines all modules’ volatile ranges together; this property only refers to the finalization status of results from the module delivering this result. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
