Question

Support text input

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 7 comments

Sometimes I'm not able to speak out loud, but I would like to access the assistant via text. #

I would love to be able to do that too, but unfortunately the Google Assistant API doesn't support such a thing.

It may be possible to achieve something like this by using a TTS engine and converting typed text into audio, and then transferring that audio to Google, but it's a hacky workaround that I may or may not ever get to

I'll see what I can do to help.

Awesome! I'll definitely try to get this implemented ASAP

Let's keep this open until it's implemented

This is coming soon with an upgrade to the newest Assistant SDK version.
