Add STT/TTS trace and log visibility in voice channel

When using the voice (SIP) channel in WatsonX Orchestrate, there is currently no way to inspect what the STT engine transcribed from the user's audio input, nor what text was passed to the TTS engine for synthesis.

This creates a significant observability gap during development, testing, and production troubleshooting. When a voice interaction produces an unexpected result, it is impossible to determine without external tooling whether the issue originated in transcription (STT misread the user), in the agent logic, or in speech synthesis (TTS rendered the response incorrectly or incompletely).

Developers and implementation teams are left guessing at the root cause, which significantly increases debugging time. The platform should expose STT transcription results and TTS input strings as part of the interaction trace, ideally alongside the existing agent reasoning and tool call logs. Log retention and filtering by session or interaction ID would further increase the utility of this feature.

    The current lack of visibility into the STT/TTS payloads within the Watsonx Orchestrate voice channel creates a severe bottleneck for development and production support. transcribe

    When an interaction fails, we currently cannot isolate whether it’s an acoustic issue (STT misinterpretation) or a cognitive issue (LLM/Agent logic).

    To make the platform truly enterprise-ready for voice, we urgently need:

    • STT/TTS payload visibility injected directly into the interaction trace/session logs.

    • Session ID filtering to trace a single call end-to-end.

    Hope to log this as a critical feature request with the platform team.
