Example of Text-to-Speech in ASP.NET MVC AIAssistView Control

In this example, the AI AssistView component is integrated with Text-to-Speech functionality to enable voice-based interaction with AI-generated responses.

The sample demonstrates the following features:

• The responseToolbarSettings includes a custom Read Aloud button that extracts plain text from the AI response and uses the browser's SpeechSynthesis API to vocalize it.
• The SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface is used to manage speech playback, including toggling between play and stop states.
• Additional response toolbar buttons include Copy to copy the response text, and Like and Need Improvement for user feedback.
• The toolbarSettings adds a right-aligned Refresh button to clear previous prompts.
• Responses are streamed dynamically using the addPromptResponse method, and the scrollToBottom method ensures the latest response is always visible.
• Markdown content is rendered using the Marked plugin for rich formatting in AI responses.
• The promptSuggestions provides AI prompt suggestions to guide user interactions.
