Set up for voice

Completed

Now that you have the necessary extensions in place, and you set up the handoff to your preferred customer service application, you're ready to set up the agent for voice. From a design standpoint, you don't need to do anything differently when you create the agent. Items such as topics, entities, and other elements are designed the same way. The only real difference is that, because the agent is enabled for voice, the text is spoken to the customer instead of presented on a screen.
