Description

Version : 4.11

Even If the 'speak' field is not sent, the bot speaks while using Cognitive Speech Services. There should be an option to tell the webchat not to speak certain messages.

Expected behavior

The bot should not speak when the 'speak' tag is not present.

Additional context

Cannot send an empty string/space to tell the bot because of https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/3780

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Web Chat with Cognitive Speech Services, comparing messages with and without the 'speak' field. Check the behavior against issue 3780's constraint about empty strings or spaces; done means messages without 'speak' are not spoken while tagged messages still are.
