Vocal output on botkit: is it possible?

[valeadami]

Hi guys, I am testing the web based botkit example. I wonder if there's a chance to get a vocal output from the chat and how. It's ok how it works now but the bot I am developing should help many users, included those visually impaired.

you could certainly run the output through a text to speech synthesizer, and then attach the results to the outbound message or otherwise use the audio. There are a lot of ways to do text to speech

ok thanks for the suggestion, i'll have a look at it!
