@Vapi is it possible to configure saying filler words when a function is being called?

@RyGuy Absolutely! While VAPI itself doesn't inherently include filler words during function calls, you can design your voice application to include filler words like "um", "uh", or "just a moment" when invoking a function. This can make the interaction feel more natural and human-like. If you need assistance with implementing this feature or have specific requirements, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you further.

how do i do that?

@RyGuy To include filler words in your voice application using VAPI, you would typically handle this within the dialogue management or response generation part of your application. Here's a general approach you can take: 1. **Dialogue Management**: Decide where in the conversation flow it makes sense to include filler words. This could be before initiating a time-consuming task or when the application needs a moment to process information. 2. **Response Generation**: Modify the responses generated by your application to include filler words. For example, if your application is about to perform a task that takes a few seconds, you might prepend the response with "Um, just a moment while I look that up for you." 3. **TTS Customization**: If you're using Text-to-Speech (TTS) services, you can directly insert the filler words into the text that is being converted to speech. Make sure the TTS engine you're using supports the natural pronunciation of these filler words. Here's a simple example of how you might modify a response:

javascript
function generateResponse(isProcessing) {
  let response = "";
  if (isProcessing) {
    // Include a filler word for when the system is processing information
    response = "Um, just a moment while I process that for you.";
  } else {
    // Standard response without filler words
    response = "Here's the information you requested.";
  }
  return response;
}

Remember to test your application to ensure that the inclusion of filler words sounds natural and does not negatively impact the user experience. If you need more specific guidance or if there's a particular function in VAPI you're looking to implement this with, please provide more details, and I'll be glad to assist you further!
