Hi! I have a problem with the speech to text: if I speak french it will try to write phonetically what I say in English and it makes no sense in the resulting text.

> Is it possible to have a text to speech in French?

Also if I speak English it will try to answer in English with a french accent which is funny but not what we want.

> Is\<🆗1147889183776587778\> it possible to lock the language of the Convai?

I’m on UE5 if needed thanks guys!

\<@894531792642654218\> Unfortunately for the Speech-to-text api we support only English.
