 * Hello
 * I am assessing this plugin’s functionality as a speech-to-text chatbot, using
   languages other than English. (e.g.: French) I have enabled Settings>Chatbot>
   Webspeech API>Speech recognition
 * While the text-inputted content is recognised, the **speech**-inputted content
   is either not recognised or is re-created as a phonetic example of the content.
 * Can you please advise?
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@ion7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ion7/) ,
 * AI Engine uses the SpeechRecognition interface of the Web Speech API. Currently,
   in AI Engine, the “lang” setting isn’t customizable and it’s unspecified. So 
   it will default to the language set in the HTML lang attribute, or to the language
   setting of the user’s device if that’s not specified either.
   So if you speak 
   French it might ouput something that sounds like it in english.
 * Hope that clears things up! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
