is it possible to build a microsoft teams bot using the azure realtime api? without the use of STT or TTS

Question

it is possible to create the bot but you have to use the STT and TTS which adds a layer of delay considering if you want the voice agent to answer from private data. Im just wondering if its possible to create said bot in teams directly without the use of STT/TTS.

Hello Mubarak Alhajri,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to know you can build a Microsoft teams bot using the azure real-time API without the use of STT or TTS.

Yes, it is possible to build a Microsoft Teams bot without using Speech-to-Text (STT) or Text-to-Speech (TTS) capabilities. You can create a text-based bot that interacts with users through text messages only. Here are some key points to consider. You can use the Bot Framework SDK - to develop your bot. This SDK supports creating bots that handle text-based interactions, without the need for STT or TTS. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/build-a-bot

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or clarifications.
