Wonder if someone could help.

I have made assistant listening blocks, however when testing there is no voice response and text response.

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/0/f04c290eb5860636b35112c1496342304b8d1f3e.png)

What should I add to enable a voice and text response?

Hi again @mauk,

I see you’re following along with the example from our documentation. This particular example will only work if you have sound files (.mp3s) with the same name as the response.

You might have better look outputting the value from `Assistant1` to a label or [TextToSpeech](https://docs.thunkable.com/text-to-speech)

hope that helps!
