## Response Splitting

When reading long responses, Open WebUI can split text into chunks before sending them to the TTS engine. This is configured in **Admin Panel > Settings > Audio** under **Response Splitting**.

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Punctuation** (default) | Splits at sentence boundaries: periods (`.`), exclamation marks (`!`), question marks (`?`), and newlines. Best for natural pacing. |
| **Paragraphs** | Splits only at paragraph breaks (double newlines). Results in longer audio chunks. |
| **None** | Sends the entire response as one chunk. May cause delays before audio starts on long responses. |

:::tip
**Punctuation** mode is recommended for most use cases. It provides the best balance of streaming performance (audio starts quickly) and natural speech pacing.

:::info Automatic Timezone Detection
Open WebUI automatically detects and stores your timezone when you log in. This allows time-related tools and features to provide accurate local times without any manual configuration. Your timezone is determined from your browser settings.
