Are Google Assistant responses audible?

[jrosy1]

When I click the google assistant on my Sense, the responses are written and not audible, I can speak to google  though, as a microphone icon appears. Is this the way it is supposed to be?  I have no problem with it, just checking to see if mine is working correctly.

So far, there's no audio with the Google Assistant although there is with Alexa. As a result, I went back to Alexa, even though I think the Google Assistant is smarter. Voice support is supposed to come sometime later via an update I suppose.

Google Asst is the best even without the voice. With Android you can initiate a text message and it's just overall smarter. I heard the voice replies are coming for G. Asst. in early 2021.

Thanks so much. Love the text message feature. Just wish my Sense would sync on it's own so I didn't get the dreaded red notice that it needs to sync with the phone.
