## Text-to-Speech

The chat widget supports Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature that enables chatbots to convert text into audio. This helps to make the conversation between a user and the bot more interactive. TTS allows the chatbot to respond to users in a natural way, using a synthesized voice to provide a human-like conversation experience.  The bot responds to the user's queries with a human voice and provides additional information and feedback.

TTS is a paid feature. You need to upgrade to Enterprise subscription to access this feature. To enable TTS for your chatbots, contact [support](mailto:support@yellow.ai).

:::note
* TTS currently supports English, Hindi, Tamil, Arabic, Kannada, Gujarati, Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Malay, Indonesian, and Vietnamese.
