Text to Speech Stream

To close the websocket connection, you can either send an websocket `Close` frame, or send the optional `close` message.

## Sending `Close`

To send the `Close` message, you need to send the following JSON message to the server:

**`JSON`**

```json JSON
{
    "type": "Close"
}
```

## `Close` Confirmation

Upon receiving the `Close` message, the server will close the websocket connect and return:

```
Disconnected from wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/speak  
14:57:21  

1000 Normal Closure:

Connection was closed successfully.
```

# Conclusion

In real-time text-to-speech processing, situations may arise where you need to immediately stop the server's operations. To manage this, Deepgram provides a `Close` message, which ensures the server halts processing and closes the connection promptly, maintaining control and responsiveness in critical scenarios.
