Programmable Voice basic feature guides (<Say>, <Gather>, <Pay>)
The most basic features of Twilio Programmable Voice include the <Say>, <Gather>, and <Pay> TwiML verbs that you can use to build voice applications.
For example, you can use <Say> to convert text-to-speech during phone calls to customers, <Gather> to collect user input during calls, and <Pay> to securely collect payment information from callers.
