Make your chatbot more accessible by enabling speech recognition (speech-to-text) and text-to-speech capabilities.

Speech recognition

Speech recognition allows visitors to speak their questions instead of typing. When enabled, the agent will respond with both text and audio.

Enable speech recognition

1

Go to Configuration

In your chatbot dashboard, click Configuration in the sidebar.
2

Select Settings

Click on Settings.
3

Go to Advanced tab

Click on the Advanced tab.
4

Enable Speech Recognition

Toggle on Enable Speech Recognition.
Voice and speech settings
Once enabled, a microphone icon appears in the chat input field. Visitors can click it to speak their message.

Text-to-speech

Text-to-speech allows the agent to respond with audio, reading responses aloud to visitors.

Enable text-to-speech

In the same Advanced tab:
  1. Toggle on Enable Text to Speech
Once enabled, the agent’s responses will include an audio playback option.

Speech services language

Select the language and voice you want to use for both speech recognition and text-to-speech:
  1. Find the Speech Services Language dropdown
  2. Select your preferred language and voice (e.g., “English (US, Female)”)
If your language isn’t supported, you can request it by clicking “Let us know” in the settings.

Use cases

Voice features are especially useful for:
  • Accessibility: Supporting visitors who have difficulty typing
  • Mobile users: Easier input on small screens
  • Hands-free scenarios: When visitors can’t type
  • Multilingual support: Natural voice interaction in different languages
