How can I use text to text in LiveKit?

Thanks for reaching out, Tamaghna. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
LiveKit supports text-to-text interactions through its text input and output features. Here are the key ways to use this functionality: • Text Input: Users can send text input through the
lk.chat
text stream topic. • Text Output: To generate text-only output, you can disable audio using the following configuration:`room_output_options=RoomOutputOptions( audio_enabled=False # disable audio output )`When audio is disabled, the agent will publish text responses to the
lk.transcription
text stream topic. • Manual Text Response: You can manually insert text input and generate a text response using the
generate_reply
method:`session.generate_reply(user_input="...")` • Frontend Integration: On the frontend, you can receive text messages using
registerTextStreamHandler
and send text messages using the
sendText
method. If you need further assistance or examples, feel free to ask! Sources: Text and transcriptions | LiveKit Docs
