Voice Recognition and Response

Hello - Admittedly, I am a beginner with this platform. I am a Physical Therapist (Professor) who is interested in developing some virtual patient interactions for my students. The key to this working is for my avatars (Metahumans) to respond to questions posed by the students, ideally both physically and/ or verbally.

Is this possible using the UnrealEngine and perhaps with other plugins?

I apologize, i likely didn’t even post this in the correct forum. Any/ all direction will be well received.
