Speech Blocks
Overview
Speech blocks allow you to incorporate spoken language or text-to-speech functionality into your app. You can use these blocks to make your app speak specific messages, responses, or user inputs aloud, enhancing accessibility and interaction for users who prefer or require auditory cues. By utilizing speech blocks, you enable your app to communicate verbally with users, providing information or instructions in a spoken format.
Text-to-Speech
The "say [text] in [language]" block reads a piece of text aloud in a specified language.
Please refer to IETF BCP 47 to see valid codes.
