Add Speech to your Website using the BOT libre TTS JavaScript SDK

The BOT libre JavaScript SDK provides free dynamic access to all of BOT libre's services including chat bots, live chat, chat rooms, forums, and speech. The speech API for the SDK can be used in conjunction with chat bots, live chat, or on its own.

The speech API is part of the BOT libre JavaScript API.
To add the BOT libre JavaScript SDK to your webpage you just need to import it in your webpage's <head> section.
