There is an old thread transcribed from the Discord server that has the same title as this one

Make the AI character read out a paragraph word for word

Make sure to use speak tag

And the OP later reports that it’s working on their project.

Is this a feature? What does it mean to “use the speak tag”? Is that thread still relevant? Is there another way to achieve that (other than using triggers)?

Hello @donq,

You can add your message to the Trigger Message parameter as follows

<speak> I'll say this exact line! </speak>
