I’m using the built-in speech recognition block for my [AI chat app](https://community.thunkable.com/t/chat-ai-image-generator-aka-synthi/2227603). Configuring APIs for things like this can be complicated but it should be possible. For me, the Thunkable speech recognition works pretty well so I didn’t end up using an API for that.

I do use a Google Cloud Voice API for text-to-speech because of the far superior sound of the voice and more natural pacing of speech when compared to Thunkable’s text-to-speech block. You might look at this: [https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text](https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text).
