It contains the following properties:

Property	Availability	Description
alternatives	always	An array of 1 or more speech objects up to a maximum of max alternatives starting with the most confident.
direction	not available if the transcription is running in mixed mode.	inbound or outbound. Whether this phrase was recognised from the inbound or outbound direction on the call. This will be inbound for a result generated by a get input action or a translator.
call	only for translator generated results.	primary or secondary. Whether this phrase was recognised from the primary or secondary call.
stability	only for interim results (final = false)	An estimate of how stable this interim result is and therefore a representation of how likely the speech recognition will change this result. Valid range is from 0.0 (unstable) to 1.0 (completely stable).
final	always	If true, the speech recognition has recognised this distinct phrase and finished analysing it. If false, this phrase object contains an interim result that may change in subsequent results.
