Where is speach?
Hey I was wondering if anyone could help.
In this help centre article is it clear there is speach functionality https://learn.voiceflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/6141291821453-Speak
However if you look at my screenshot its not on the console? Any idea what Im doing wrong?

In Voiceflow, the availability of certain functionalities like the Speak step depends on the type of assistant you've selected. There are two main types of assistants: (1) Voice and (2) Chat.
The Speak step, which is used to make your voice assistant speak using text-to-speech, is only available for Voice Assistants. This is because the computer will speak aloud to the user in this type of assistant. On the other hand, this functionality is not available for Chat Assistants.
If you're not seeing the Speak step in your console, it's likely that you've selected a Chat Assistant type when you first created your assistant. To resolve this, you should ensure that you select a Voice Assistant type when you're creating your assistant.
You can also check the type of your current assistant by looking at the top of your project canvas. If you see a microphone icon, it means you're working on a Voice Assistant. If you see a chat bubble icon, it means you're working on a Chat Assistant.
Remember, each assistant type will have access to different steps, design/publish-aspects, and features according to the native functionality of the channel you are designing for. For instance, an Amazon Alexa assistant will have specific steps such as Display or Directive, which a 'Chat Assistant' type will not have.
I hope this helps! If you need more information, you can refer to this Voiceflow documentation.
