Business value
Conversational experiences can support both text and speech and have more optimized speech talk tracks (for example, more succinct) along with multiple variations to ensure the experience is more natural.
Feature details
Response authoring within the authoring canvas now supports both text and speech variations. By default, text responses will be used for speech, but you can choose to provide a speech variation which will be used for speech-enabled channels, such as telephony. Speech variations can make use of SSML optimizations to improve pronunciation and provide more control generally on the text-to-speech operation.
Responses can use variables held in bot memory, and multiple variations can be authored, which are chosen randomly for a given user to ensure a more natural experience.
