Voice Assistant Answer
with Wolfram|Alpha
Prefer a spoken-word answer, falling back to a short text answer on a 501.
- Ask the Spoken Results API for an answer phrased for text-to-speech. A 200 yields a spoken-ready sentence; a 501 means no spoken result is available.
- When no spoken result exists, fall back to the Short Answers API for a concise plain-text answer the assistant can read.
What you'll need to have ready
- appid: Wolfram|Alpha AppID used to authenticate every request.
- input: The natural language query to voice (e.g. "How tall is Mount Everest?").
- units: Measurement system preference, either metric or imperial.
- timeout: Maximum processing time in seconds for each query.
