# Start and Stop Tasks

Tasks are defined in the IDOL Speech Server configuration file. The `[TaskTypes]` configuration section defines a list of all the available tasks. Individual task configuration sections define operations for each task to perform.

To send actions related to specific tasks, you must specify a `Type` parameter. The `Type` parameter corresponds to the name of the configuration section that defines the task details. For example, if there is a `[SpeechToText]` configuration section for a task, set the `Type` parameter to `SpeechToText`.

For each successfully submitted task, a unique task ID token returns that you can use to get any task-specific information later. The token is a base-64 encoded set of characters, which encapsulates information such as the ACI server’s host name, port, and the name of the action sent. Tokens have no fixed size; however, they are case sensitive.
